Weird and a bit oxidative. Maybe it came out a little later, but waxy and tight to start off with.

Very fresh in the nose for a wine if this age. Pear, quince, lemon curd fruit with scents of thyme and coriander. Surprisingly primary. Bright citrus tones on palate with stony, mineral flavors. As balanced as the wine is it should continue to age at a delightful pace.

Just gorgeous. Dried fruit, nuts, wax. Really special wine - not for everyone, but I love these wines at this age.
