Big name, quick notes.
Day 1 - Austere. Shut down like the Beach Boys tune.
Day 2 - Opening up wonderfully with grapefruit and seashells notes. The more air it got, the more expressive it got - in both fruit and mineral aspects. It developed some of the flavors I get from some Chenin Blancs as the chill blew off; A pleasant sweet pea flavor with a toasted bread edge to it. It really put on a great deal of weight over time, rounding and integrating into a really pleasurable wine. - Very complex and complete, but too young at this point to show it’s true colors. It paired confoundingly well with poached eggs. An awesome buy @ under $15 - but I will wait try it again in 2010.
