A brief Labor Day get together with some friends.
This is doing great, probably even better 2023.

A 2021 check-in on this bottle today, still holding well to prior notes:
Nose has lightly oxidized yellow apple, under-ripe papaya, pineapple core, cold butter and dry sandstone.
Palate has ripe pineapple core, lemon zest, (light) vanilla creme, pear puff pastry, yellow apple peel with slightly sweet notes to the medium finish.
Decanted 4H.

Similar notes to the Paul Pernot bottling of the same vintage:
Nose has lightly oxidized yellow apple, under-ripe papaya, pineapple core, cold butter and dry sandstone.
Palate has ripe pineapple core, lemon zest, (light) vanilla creme, pear puff pastry, yellow apple peel with slightly sweet notes to the medium finish. Excellent.
Cork pulled for slow oxygenation for 5H, then into the decanter for 1H. This bottle is in a very nice place, still quite youthful and will appreciate another 4-6 years of proper storage.

We're entertaining my in-laws and parents today, fun 🤷♂️. Bottles go fast when you're pouring for six glasses.
Creamy tropical fruits, under-ripe peach, light saline notes, needs years to come together still. Decanted 2+ hours. 2016 vintage 👍👍
