OCT 12 Pale lemon yellow, watery rim. Lemons and minerals, apples behind. Some butter and vanilla, starting to open. Fresh acidity, mouthwatering and lively acidity, creamy lime and mineraly palate, very refreshing and long. Lacks nuances and more complexity at this stage, but a fine wine that will, if not oxidized, evolve nicely for another decade or at least two. Finally a bottle that starts to speak, unfortunately my last. Not decanted as it opened up already after ten minutes and continued for an hour. Kept more or less on the same spot for the next three hours. I found it more interesting to follow it in the glass. 94
