A lost Friday afternoon gathering – 96 Oeno, 99 Roumier BM, 13 Ente VV, 95 Rayas, 90 Chap (BlackSalt, Washington DC): The color is amber which is a bit of concern. Slightly advanced but not madeirized nose displaying a hint of tarte tatin, lanoline, iron, oyster shell, smoked oyster and burnt sugar. Very good concentration, burnt sugar and caramel driven palate impression, steely mineral, slightly lacking acidity and a medium finish that ends with burnt sugar. This particular example is slightly advanced yet enjoyable. For my palate, slightly advanced white Burgundies work well with very earthy dishes, in our case, with a dried Japanese scallop dish.
