2022/7/9-10 with chicken with white wine and tarragon, Kenji Lopez-Alt’s roasted potatoes, etc. This was an interesting bottle; as Jasper Morris notes, there’s a bit of intentional CO2 spritz present even after all these years. On day 1, that added a bit of an edge to things, but at the core there is a lovely nose of spiced (mace, vanilla) cookies, buttery caramel and various fruit tarts. The palate really did better on day 2, which revealed a more relaxed, integrated, spherical whole. Overall, the nose was the star - but considering that this improved after opening, I’d love to see how it is with even more time.
