I was worried this is going to be way over the hill. Far from it. Butterscotch, musky, smoky and quite lively. Almost reminds me of an aged Aussie semillon. Very interesting and was still holding up well on day 2

served this blind. initially confused as a chablis. good minerality, some soft butter oak notes but not overwhelming. fruit still present. actually all components integrated.

Drinking at its peak right now. This is definitely not a shy wine. Nose is powerful with butter, nuts. Same flavor on the palate. full body, velvety with a very long finish.

Very dark yellow, almost looked oxydized. Great nose of wet stone, white fruits, pepper. Very elegant, focused, long finish with great minerality, pepper and white fruits in the background.
