Popped and poured and it’s nice right out of the gate. Nose has lots of wet straw-inflected earthiness, and almost Chablis-like brothy note, a vague whiff of toasted barrels, and some pear skin fruit. Lots of earth, crushed stone, and apple-pear fruit on the palate. Medium acids, and a weighty, lengthy finish with a dark, bitterish note that grows (in a nice way). Lots of character.

Still enjoyable but that kick of brightness has faded to almost being boring.
