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.

Simply one of the most striking wines I’ve had. The fancy bottle isn’t needed to have the bright lemon meringue and brioche aromas do the talking.

95+ points for me at this point but with SO much upside potential that the rating may seem conservative in 5+ years.
