The 2017 wine is more in the style of the 2006, 2007, and 2009 showing tension and briskness with the silky texture and complexity we find in warmer years. The characteristic nose of green almond, kaffir lime leaf, and yellow curry is lifted by white floral notes. The impression in the fore-palate confirms the flavors in the nose along with honeydew and white pepper flavors. The beeswax note broadens in the silky mid-palate and lingers on the long finish. Drink now for the sheer pleasure of all that is going on and hold for 10-20 years to sometime in 2030 for the oxidative effect to transform this wine into a funkier, nuttier wine as it has in previous vintages.
