I'll try to make this one, Sean. Travel and general insanity have kept me away for last one (maybe two). I don't own this wine, so (again) will have to buy it. Such a sacrafice. I DO have '09 and '10 versions in my cellar and if I can swing it, I may open a three year vertical.
I had some of this today – lots of lemon/citrus and very dry. Delicious.
Great choice for a virtual tasting.
