The snow was fantastic and it cleared enough to ski the big sidecontry lines off the Gemsstock at Andermatt. Best ski trip of my life.

Last tasted more than a year ago it had shrunk into itself and was very good but no-longer great. In an ideal world this will be a great wine again once it's 20 years old, but there's no guarantee that any white Burgundy will actually achieve such longevity today... Dear Mark
