Medium gold color with a youthful, CA-like nose at first. This needed 3+ hours of air to develop some complexity, show its acidity and structure, and become the wine it should be. Notes of apricot and citrus, some green apple, some wood, some ginger and some white clay. My experiences with the 05s have been rather interesting… many are very CA-like in their youth, but starting to develop complexity and show their terrior. Give them air to develop. A half bottle of this was pumped and left 3 days in the fridge, and was still in reasonably good shape when I went back to it.

Nov 26th, 2021Light gold, heavy in the glass. Great nose right out of the gate. Notes of citrus, white clay, pear, a little iodine and some spice. Rich and powerful in the mouth. Really good wine. Ripe fruit matched with a strong backbone of acidity. I think this is drinking well right now. Bottles like this should have a long future and could improve some more.

Really pretty. Took some time to open, but became more expressive as it did. Subtle fruit, some butterscotch and florals.

Magnum/ Could be aged for a couple of years more ! But excellent, white flowers notes, beginning of honey flavors

Mature and settled. Oily lanolin, honey and pear. Some oxidative notes but balanced and fine. Nuttiness coming through with air. Good structure and acidity. Drink up
