nose of pure petrol blew off in a few minutes. Aroma of apples,
ho9neysuckle and sea salt showing more lime and almond as it aired in
the glass. Bone dry on the palate. Lots of minerality, saline and
lime rounding our into Granny Smith Apple with a hint of petrol from
start to finish. "A-"

Have the 2002 waiting for just this sort of meal. Looking forward to it. Are you finding the more current bottlings as intense?

To be totally honest, the 2000 vintage could use just a touch more
acidity. I just tasted the 2004 which I thought was incredibly
intense. It gets hard to come by at times and I only have a few older
vintages left. I'll report as I open them.
