Impressed it was so good after so long!

@Tom Casagrande, the early Texier wines always had “bracing” acidity (which I happen to love, but I acquired some of these earlier vintages cheap because others who preferred less acidity were dumping their purchases). I believe that’s why these early Brezemes have lasted so easily and so long.
