Wednesday, April 1, 2015 - Lemon, crème brûlée, and oaky vanilla. Intense stone and mineral on the finish. A ripe vintage with decent new oak, but this comes together superbly. Will age nicely. Drink starting 2020.

Diam removes all cork taint from the cork particles (aka all detectable taint)...and the corks are put back together to have a very tight tolerance (i.e. low variation) for oxygen transmission and the one used here (Diam10) has a low oxygen transmission level (lower than most 'normal' corks). A number of Burg producers have switched to Diam, or other alternative solutions, in their attempt to thwart premox in their whites. You can, of course, search for Diam for more info.
