Always a treat with enough time to unwind—lemon, honeysuckle, pear, still plenty of mineral verve

First bottle of this was corked...thank goodness I had backup! Typically excellent, nice combo of briny citrus and lees. Label could use more gold foil tho

Second bottle of this in the past two weeks, and both outstanding. Nice mature golden hue, with waxy, honeysuckle nose. Lemon creme, almost Chardonnay-like palate, with great length. I'll admit to being lukewarm on a couple of these bottles consumed 6-8 years ago, but these have blossomed wonderfully.

1999 vintage. Lemon curd and chalky minerals, with some clean white mushroom notes. Slightly lower in acid than expected.

The fruit is fading but there's still a backbone holding things together.
