From mag. This is very good. Open knit, fresh bright fruit, hints of biscuit and corn. Lovely salinity and balance. Fine and long. A great bottle.

Merry Christmas Eve! Quasi drinkable after a nice pop upon opening. Darkish gold color. Got better after being open for 30 minutes. Probably a year or two outside the drinking window. Massive brioche and honey. Was fun to try!

This was in beautiful condition, broad, rich and complex with toast, citrus and baked apple. Stunning color and still a fine bead. Thanks Tobey and Michael!
