Very good. Young and punchy fruit. Intense and grapey. Suffers a little between the 02 and 08 but very good.

It is in the shut the door phase.

Just beautiful body & mousse. Crisp mico-oxygenation. Meyer lemon, Bartlett pear, green & golden apple, lime citrus blend w/ pith, just ripe pineapple, light tropical melons, both peaches, nougat, almond skin, caramel notes, light yeastiness, some bread dough, sea spray/fossils, mid white spice, crumbled chalkiness, alluvial limestone/volcanics, spring flowers w/ yellow lilies, crisp yet soft acidity, balanced for days, nicely knitted, softly tensioned and a smartly polished finish that lasts 90 seconds to two-minutes.

Purchased on the secondary market and quite as good as I stored upon release.

Delicious right now. Great fresh fruit, sweetness at the edges, a steely core and lovely integrated acidity. Fresh and delicious

Poised and fresh. Lime and steel. Sweet edges. Refined and settled. Very approachable now but with the stuffing to last. Great
