Further to May 31, '25: latest of 2-3b since then. Consistent notes: medium gold, fragrant mature white fruits, bit of oak, good mouthfeel. Still holds at least a day with vacuvin. Solid Notable+.

Test bottle from GO for USD 5 and then bought 4b more; this is #1. Light gold; reticent white fruit nose, more on the palate, good mouthfeel--all improved after 24h, 48h under vacuvin. Since purchase, passive ground floor subterranean storage built into a hillside. Quality/age/price: Notable.
