  This is over the rise but still good drinking, it needs extra chilling to drink best, typical aged Mersault , ok

  Different yet than before. Evolved with golden eye, pure clean fruit on nose, not oxidized, more cooked fruit coming through along with deeper yellow grapes, stonefruit, mineral, nice acidity. Less powerful yet different, possibly classier. Quite enjoyable at this stage.

  Good and different than several years ago. Very classical Meursault qualities. More resolved fruit, integrated with mineral and matured qualities. Gold with copper hues. Complex white grape notes, from lanolin, hay, stewed prunes (white flesh) perhaps. Good integration of elements, nice attack, good balance, and finish. Soft acidity, good weight, almost salty minerality, dry fruit, with a lingering finish. Good stuff that is showing off good age. Will open with air. Thumbs Up!

  Bottle stored in perfect conditions at Wine Society. Cork was perfect, as was ullage. Not oxidised! Yay! ...
  Quite a dark golden colour though.
  On opening quite mute on it's own but probably too cold (10C) and needing air. Even though muted, getting lots of nuts, brioche and something quite savoury and almost chicken stock like on finish. Great acidity, a touch of apple on the finish but not in an oxidised way. This is a little shy but good. Good with roast chicken.
  There is some minerality here and a salty tang too. Mouth-watering. Shy but with subtle complexity. I also have a partially blocked nose so some of it's shyness may be my sense of smell being reduced.
  Quite different with a ripe Brie de Meaux: more open on the nose now and palate is more complex - honeyed, quite nutty, and a funny metallic taste on the end but this could be a reaction to the cheese moreso than anything else. That sensation disappeared later.
  This isn't a wine to write home about but it's very Burgundy: makes you curious and intrigued and raises questions as much an answers. Not a hedonistic wine by any means but oddly enjoyable, very Frech, subtle, odd. I'm really looking forward to second half of bottle, which I've put away until tomorrow (inert gas).
  After one hour of air and at 15C and this was at its best. I think it needed a longer decant to open up. 10 year old chardonnay and still needs a decant! It can only be Burgundy!
