Pretty consistent with before. Nicely complex aromatics, a bit muted though. Good body, slight mineral creaminess developed after a bit. Definite floral fruit like melons. Short finish. Held together well for all of dinner. Enjoyable. Very good with beer-mustard braised pork.

Started off really complex - acidic backbone, floral and citrus notes upfront, mineral elements and a finish with hint of sweet and floral. Paired really well w/ the food as well. Open time and warming gave rise to strong mineral leading to petrol/organic notes leading to almost ’fishy’ notes on the palate and nose. Didn’t finish the bottle. Positive for early impressions and ability to work with food with slight deduction for the speed that the decline hit.
Paired: Swordfish w/ asparagus and roasted yellow and poblano pepper hollandaise
