Very fatty, ripe, and oaky at this stage. To me it lacked a bit of the tension I'd usually expect from Rully, reminding me more of a Macon-something than Rully. It was frankly a little too much for me to be enjoyable, so I recorked and saved the last 1/3rd two days in the fridge. Sadly the only thing it had developed was a slight note of cork taint, which was muddled up in the oak at first.
If you have any of these, definitely save them another year or two, and hope that it calms down a bit.
A nose of smoky mineral, yellow fruits and spearmint. Great palate shape. Unctuous through the mid and seriously saline at the back end. Balanced and delicious.

Intense lime and butter notes, rich and creamy, way, like in way too young. Some powder, spice, citrus, green apples, grainy. Great potential, but wait.

I very much agree with recent notes. This packs some potential i think. Even if it drinks well now it seems to be a wine that could really use some time of resting in bottle.
Edit: the above supported by how the last glass and a half showed the day after. Wonderful, oak more integrated, strong but very nice note of violet showed more.

Pale gold. Wonderful complex nose of melon, lemon, touch of ginger, a whisp of smoke and flint. Similar on palate. Ripe yellow fruit aromatics and Fresh lemon and good acidity touch of white flowers. Nice gun flintiness with lovely buttery note on finish. I really enjoyed this and it punches so much about its weight.

2nd of 4 bottles. Really distinct lemon note on this, along with oodles of acidity. So fresh and yet lots of power and complexity. A truly superb effort. This should age really well but i imagine i'll drink the rest of mine before that happens. Wish i had more

Lightly corked, a shame, as there is lovely material underneath. I’ll be honest, I finished my glass. It was just enough TCA to leave no doubt, but not enough that all pleasure was obscured.

Sea salt, yellow fruits (ripe yellow melon?) and a whiff of smoke on the nose. Medium to full bodied, very dry, slightly viscous, serious energy and superbly judged aciddity, good freshness and salinity. Works well. Lovely overall balance. Fifteen hours later, the remainder of the bottle was even better over lunch.

Very good on the pop and pour. This vintage does not seem to have anything close to the amount of reduction I noticed in the 2019. It said it is a bit cleaner, but pure and transparent with lemon verbena, river stone, and vanilla pod. Excellent acidity and a wine that can be drunk now or later.

Light yellow. In the bouquet some butter and a mild dose of oak and vanilla. Same on the palate, green apples, and beautifully fresh citrus acidity. Fairly full bodied and a good length.

Fabulous. Fresh and pure and concentrated, with impeccable balance. Punches way, way above its level.

Citrus and peach flavors, open and generous, but with some structure. A very good village Rully.
