Monday, December 28, 2020 - Tasted over three days. The wine would rarely show its true nobility and Magic. This is only the second time that I have ever tasted Montrachet and the first time was a 2005. I felt the same about the other one that I tasted that both of these wines were not giving themselves up very easily. Both stuck to a very strong dense lemon oil and garlic type of character long mineral finish obvious stony Ness but not put together like the few flashes and moments that it would give off of just pure royalty and striking beauty. Not sure what is happening here maybe drinking them too young or just not enough energy present to coax out the magic. Good nonetheless but not $500 good. Would not spend the money again currently.
