Showing well not spectacularly--needs a bit more time and there's a big gap between this and the next levels up--Butteaux and MdT. Still delicious, with great minerality, but no ⚡️.

'07 vintage--Love this wine normally, but showed a little bit of sulphur early on that eventually blew off. Seawater, brine and lemons.
