1998 Labouré-Roi Meursault

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

93 Points

Sunday, December 7, 2014 - From 5 Liter.
No notes taken.
Perfect provenance (PWSF) and fill level.
Look: Light '08 color with just slight yellow.
Nose: Peaches, mandarin orange, slight oak.
Body: 2% milk mouth-weight.
Taste: Peaches, orange, lt. lemon, lt. pineapple. An AMAZING wine.
My FAVORITE Meursault so far.
Light touch of oak. Bright fruit with decent acidity.
Finish: LONG finish of about 2 minutes!

This gem was Excellent. While not the fierce acidity of a Jadot Puligny Montrachet Les Folatieres, it really showed CLASS.
Even at a party with only about 30 folks,
and including goodies such as a Magmum of my now 1997 Dei Favorite Vino Nobile de Multepulciano Riserva,
a Magnum of Amarone,
the praiseworthy 2005 Domaine de Baumard Peacock Cuvee,
and about 20 other bottles,
this "Loren Bacall" showed class and quickly got enjoyed up.
Even at room temp.

Showing excellent now (albeit this Is a 5 Ltr and a Very good year, expecially for a non-2002 white),
and can easily go another 6 years if you have in a big version.

93+ points.

Surprise...a great white one doesn't need to even chill
(one you'll get more taste as well I suspect the closer to room temp).
