Worried it might have been past its prime to start but decanted it and it opened up beautifully. Rich but with good minerality and classic floral and honeysuckle nose. It was my first try of Montille's negotiante wines but I was impressed.

Cotton candy sweet as gold, lemme see that tootsie ROLL. On point, but a little sucrosite that was off balance left me to think that this had peaked a little earlier in time. Still very enjoyable now. Enjoy with something rich and seafood. We did.

score is for night two, oh boy this was nice with sweet and tart palate, nice acidity, some (med minus) richness which provided a nice mouthfeel and good finish in the throat, tasty and slightly hedonistic, but still the brightness of P/M showed through

NR as i wasn't concentrating on tasting, but i would say that i tasted in the thirty minutes after decanting and thought it seemed a bit disjointed (clearly relative to my prior note on the wine), wouldn't have called it tense and bright this time around, seemed like the oak treatment was in an awkward spot
