  Another lousy cork, this one fell into the bottle and required decanting. The fruit's still remarkably fresh and bright though, a sweet and sour combination of green apples, limes and lemons with herbal, smoky and creamy accents and a bright acid spine beneath keeping it precise and vibrant. Very nice.

  Cork soaked all the way through. Comes across a little light and thin initially, but fills out with air as the fruit freshens up and it picks up complexity; lovely herbal and fresh spearminty notes over fresh pear fruit and lemon candy. Very understated and elegant, drinking at peak now.
