These things are crazy. Opened one 5 years ago that was completely undrinkable, but this one was better. It needed about 30 mins of air to show any fruit, but it finally peaked out a little along with fennel and very strong acidity. Based on the slight improvement from 5 yrs ago I’m intrigued but I’m not opening another one for at least 5 more.

Fascinating wine that evolved over three days. Stunning aromatics that showed oxidative elements along with fresh, green, herbal notes. So much structure and acid. I suspect this will last for decades more.

A little earth and funk with a solid core of beautiful fruit. Still fresh , and intense I have not had this in 5 years but it's holding up well.

1990; close to perfection, this bottle provided a history lesson on its own. Crystalline aromas and flavors with a pulsating finish where hard-to-beat minerality take centre stage.
