2019 vintage. Previously enjoyed less than 2 weeks ago (9.2 rating on 8.19.23). Big, heavy white that got a decant before tasting. Enjoyed over the course of an hour. Medium/medium-heavy body. All the smoky, toasty, vanilla, mineral qualities in the nose bridged the strait and made it into the flavors with the mineral component ultimately ruling the roost...er...glass. Long-lived producer so it was much too early to crack this particular egg. Give it a half-decade-at least. 8.31.23.
