Beautiful and complex bouquet with caramel and well integrated oak. On the palate white and yellow fruits, butter, vanilla, full bodied and enormously concentrated, extremely beautiful and a great length.

Perfect provenance ex-restaurant. Earliest picked chez Lafon, not overripe at all, creamy popcorn richness backed up by superb acidity. On the palate it is huge, monstrous weight in multi-dimensions, but not too rich, just in the zone. One of the best Lafon MP tasted. 95-96

Last of 6, pnp, cork spongey at bottom, perfect level, lighter than previous 2 bottles, incipient POX but not to the extent that the wine was undrinkable or even unpleasant, indeed very fine underlying depth of flavour with some youthful wax, first glass the best, seemed to oxidise immediately with contact with air, last glass the worst.......probably best to send back to Lafon and get a refund as too many of these wines from late 90s onwards are not of merchantable quality!!!!! VG (16) first glass!

4th of 6, opened 30 minutes, apparently perfect cork and level, even darker than last bottle, drinkable but POXy flavours now intrusive, as so often the case with white Burg moved from barely ready to POXed in less than a year, drink up! QG (14).

3rd of 6, opened 30 minutes, spongey half travelled cork, perfect level, heightened colour, more vanilla, less balancing citrus zest and zip, broader and flabbier flavours, than a year ago, sense of ageing rapidly in this bottle, drink. F+ (18).

Lys farge ved åpning, gylden gul etter å ha vært luftet på karaffel i en halvtime-time. Moden nese. Ganske old-school Meursault. Moden frukt, smør, gule blomster, hvit pepper, fat. Harmonisk i munn. Moden, myk og saftig frukt. Konsentrert. Mangler ikke syre, men den er ganske avrundet og snill. Drikker perfekt nå. Om denne ideelt sett kunne vært enda mer transparent på duft og livlig i munn, må det sies at den er utrolig imponerende for årgangen.

J's Birthday celebration (Summer Pavilion @ Ritz Carlton): This has really lovely complex, expressive aromas of melted butter, light ginger spice, honeysuckle and ripe yellow fruits. Very good acidity entry for a 2006 with lemon, lemon oil and ripe fruits. Lovely saline complexity. Everything is great except the hollow mid palate though gaining back in life toward the finish, it is still sorta let down and didn't show the pedigree of a Perrieres.

2nd of 6, pnp, perfect cork and level, tighter and more zip than last June's bottle, now in early maturity. VF+ (19)…..classier and more complete than previous night's PYCM Chevalier!

1st of 6, decanted 45 minutes, perfect cork and level - mid yellow, leggy; lemon cut, nicely mineral, flowers, pear and white peach; medium, very long, concentrated and persistent, slightly blowsy richness of fruit perfectly complemented by citric lift, impressive and v young. VF (18.5)....... just edged PYCM Chevalier 06 on night and clearly a step up on the Charmes!

Uncorked DK does 2007 Chateauneuf-du-Pape (Aarø & Co): Light yellow. Loads of butter and smoke together with vegetables, gunpowder, licorice and flintstone on the nose. Very intense in the mouth, but also very elegant and with a long aftertaste. a very classy Meursault. (U93,9)

Queen of Meursault indeed. So well balanced, fresh and elegant almost 20 years since bottling. Reminds me of an outstanding Corton Charlemagne

A private dinner (Restaurant d'Oude Schuur, Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium): Tasted blind. Elegance and gentle evolution, fully mature and perfectly fresh, white pepper, traditional style, honeyed and rounded, power and weight balanced by firm acidity, real drive and length.

Meursault Perrieres blind tasting 1988-2011: This bottle had a clear oxidative touch of bruised apples as well. Should not be for such a young vintage.

Musique & Vin Festival BYO Dinner with Musicians (1243 Bourgogne Society - Beaune): Small glass, brief note. Rich stone fruit, dense and fleshy, still nicely fresh. Bright mineral textures but this isn't showing much acidity, but it's clearly there in the background, otherwise the wine could never seem this bright.

Le Serbet/ Becky Wasserman's 35th Anniversary Celebration (Château de Sully - Southern Burgundy): From magnum directly from the domaine. Ripe and tropical with lots of toasted nut, peach and baked apple. Very forward, just ever-so-slightly shorter and simpler vs the 2004 just tasted.
