Decanted for 1h then back into bottle. Opened for 2h total when tasted. Still tight aromas with bits of tart apples and herbs. Again, not giving too much. On palate, gala apples, herbs, minerals, and some spices (botrytis?). Full bodied with a nice finish. But it lacked concentration. May have needed a longer decant.

50th Birthday Dinner (Classic Wine Storage, Dallas, TX): Impressions. Opened for 1h. Tart apples, lemons, a hint of pineapple, electric minerals and acids, herbs, a bit of smokiness. Excellent weight and texture. Still tastes young and agree with others..this has a long life ahead.

Something weird with this bottle. Decanted and started to drink 1 h later. Very vegetal with a medicinal bitterness. Not corked but just off. Bummer.

Still tasting on the younger side. The high-acid has subsided a bit and there's pineapple, sweet melon, and striking minerality.
Wonderful stuff.

Pretty nose, blossom, citrus, stone fruit, flower. Palate more subdued, nutty, preserved lemon, melon. Palate is a bit of a let down.
