Built for the long haul - hard to separate ripeness from say 6-9 g/L of RS. Rich aromas of golden apple, artichoke Liquer, and wet stone.

Giving this the benefit of the doubt. I bit disjointed and overripe. Initially some plastic-like aromas. Comes together more with air.

Lovely acid plays with ripe peaches and pears with a citrus core. 08' has many years ahead of it. Slight petrol note beginning to emerge.

Very crystalline and pure - green tropical fruit, lees, and mineral smoke with spice. So lovely. Still a baby. Decant or hold.
