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

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.

Last bottle. Very mineral and lovely notes of cheese rind on the nose. Also sweet seashells if that makes sense. Like a sweet salinity. Palate is electric, as 04 can be, with nice opulent mouthfeel yet rapier-like acids and almost chewy saline tannins on the finish. Maybe even needs an honor to open up. Terrific long finish
