Obviously a quality wine but I decanted it too early, by several hours. Decanted at noon and served at 7 - an hour would have been fine. And in fact it was lovely at that point, and it lost energy and pungency over the next hours, felt flat when we got to it. But earlier, there was stone and fruit and energy.

Opened 1 hour before dinner. Green'ish/golden color. Improved since last bottle 3 years ago. More to come, will improve with more bottle time. However this very good. The balance and texture was very good. Minerals, apples, pear and lime dominated the palate. medium to long finish.

Straw green; subtler nose that blossomed with air, green apple, pear, slight honey and limestone; palate became waxier with air, white flowers, a bit of a nutty profile, honey, green apple, lemon lime, nice grainy minerality on finish; very good; still young.

Still fresh and beautiful. Love the lime note. Long finish. Good midpalate.

Delicious, but would have been better cooler and given more air.
