After 4 days of tasting it finally woke up out of its reductive state and showed its origin and quality. I have one more bottle that I’ll age at least another 5 years.

various citrus flavors, perhaps peach or apricot w creamy oak, strong minerality but could have used a touch more acidity ~ expected ‘15 more than ‘14
