  Gold color. Lemon fruit, mineral notes and toasty oak. It is fairly powerful. A nice wine and there are some really good elements, but it is lacking depth and complexity to merit a higher score.

  Darkish yellow colour notwithstandinog, the wine is in great shape, should easily last another couple years or more. Improved markedly with 90 min of decanting. Expressive nose of citrus and smth exotic that I can't pin down. Nicely acidic balance, buttery texture, powerful and pure flavors of citrus fruits and maybe hazelnuts. Long. Excellent wine, approaching Grand Cru territory, just lacks the ultimate complexity.
