December 10, 2023 - UY4. Excellent balance with petrol and flint in nose. Really beautiful wine. From a mag.
December 6, 2023 - Brought this to a dear friend’s birthday dinner, pale yellow, green apples, lemon, powerful, concentrated, mouth coating, quite full bodied, lots energy, v long, still young
94+
July 9, 2023 - 8th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, pale and youthful, bit simple and light for CC, blind I'd probably think it GC Chablis, hard to tell where this is heading, attractive drink nevertheless and with some style, just not up to usual BdM standards, no rush and may yet round out as indeed some of the bottles have, just not this one. F (17.5).
May 29, 2023 - 7th of 12, opened an hour, apparently perfect cork and level, way off last couple of bottles and with pronounced nutty overtones as in August 20 bottle, still drinkable and attractive but far from what it should be and I suspect light cork taint, normally plenty of upside and no rush. This bottle VG+ (16.5).
January 14, 2023 - flawd/premoxed. last bottle was perfect, so.....
December 3, 2022 - Seventeenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Hughes House - Chicago IL): In 12/08/07 vertical. Superb energy and concentration, still wonderfully fresh and vibrant through to its very long finish. While the 2008 vintage was better than 2007 for their first decade, this vintage is now the rockstar, and most likely has even further upside from here.
October 23, 2022 - Chez Zim: lemon, pretty lean and very long, nice salinity.
October 7, 2022 - It is always with fear I open one of these bottles. Previous experiences with premox are the reasons for this. But the, how satisfying it is to find a perfect example at the perfect age for this wine: 15 years. Clear straw color with hints of green. Very young. Classic nose of green apples at first, then the underlying sweet, almost tropical fruit (peach and lime), all topped with a hint of green olives and chalk. Medium to full bodied attack, smooth mouthfeel, and an almost buttery consistency on the palate. Then a searing acidity kicks in, leaving the finish on citrus, green apples and lime. Extreme length, sits for well over one and a half minute and develops fine mineral/olive tones all the way to the end. Not the expansive Burgundy a la Meursault, more like an elegant Chablis. This is just a top wine, but it is still too young. Believe me or not!
September 10, 2022 - really classy and did not have time to think critically as I was prepping and cooking but very lucid and sunshiny fruits with bold entry and then fans out to a palate cleansing finish that encourages another sip. Disappeared too quickly.
This was stored well and seems to be at some sort of peak. I assume it could have another 5+ years.
August 24, 2022 - What Burgundy Al said. In a perfect spot. Not sure how much longer it will stay there, so I’ll enjoy monitoring my remaining bottles
