2016 Domaine Thomas Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Baudines

Nose starts buttery but cut through with a lovely mineral freshness and lemon peel, a hint of tropical fruit - great balance off the bat.
Palate: again great balance between the rich buttery notes and lemon peel, a hint of apple and vanilla. Good acidity with a pleasing pull in of the cheeks!

Really interesting nose - quite high toned initially but gives ways to a lovely perfumed pink grapefruit and some Haribo candy notes and some cardamon spice
Palate is rich but cut through by the grapefruit. Long finish. Really started to sing with some air

Nose is very clean yet dense (if that means anything), redcurrant and cherry backed up with a crisp minerality
Palate is red currant and cherry then plenty of fine tannins speaking to typical Pommard. Lovely long finish.
This feels like it's going places but isn't there yet.

This is in the zone now.
Nose immeadiately delivers tertiary notes truffle, rare steak, some herbs and tobacco
Palate delivers on the nose with tobacco, inky bramble fruit.
Really really nice but a slightly curtailed finish.
Drink now or in next few years

I think this is my first Grand Cru Burgundy so take by novice notes with a pinch of salt
Nose is fabulous: Allspice, nutmeg, pepper, some sous bois, lovely savouriness all cut through with a seam of mineral freshness
Palate: No layering of notes here - everything comes at once - it's a frankincense spiced fruit mix. Very long finish.

Wowsers what a wine
Nose: truffle, dirt, leather and animal notes but some red and black fruit sweetness there too
Palate: A bit lost for words to begin with - some incense, truffle, dried red and black fruit. Good acidity still and an incredibly long finish. Really delicious. For me WOTN
