Having had this lately at a tasting, it was all I could to not to open this bottle these last few weeks....then weakness got the better of me and I chilled it and popped it. This one came from one of those fancy lacquered box editions, and now I have a beautiful box to remind me of my silliness. I did not deserve this tonight ...but it was ooohhh zoo good Smile

No changes to my previous notes,..so consistent.

"Exposeive nose of brioche, toast, peach, wow, the density of this wine is amazing, structure is not as forward as the 02, most likely meaning that this will not be a long term LGD. Drinking very well now, night get a bit more elegance with a bit more time but why wait......"

Indeed....got a couple left........ohhh its gonna be tough......
