Color is light gold. Just a hint of oxidation on the palate. Did not enjoy it as much as other PYCM bottlings. This is overpriced for what it delivers.

Deeply golden, perhaps a bit more advanced than it should be. The nose is intensely stony and also a bit ashy, dense, and it bears the stamp of the warm vintage in its weightiness. The palate shows some of the oily texture of Meursault, and it is mostly clean and true, but it is also very fleshy and ripe. This is good wine in the context of the vintage, but it is not a terribly good Meursault.

Didn't get a chance to fully enjoy this wine but I was taken by its graceful elegance, purity and lush fruit on a stunning frame. At almost 10yrs old this is starting to drink very very well. I'd buy this wine if I saw it.

first bottle of this tonight was flawed, this was my backup (and last of this). Bottle also hinted at oxidation but this one at least retained bracing acidity with stony salinity. Still, an undistinguished wine and I wouldn't purchase again, from garagiste or anyone else; poor qpr at ~$40.

Have taste 3 bottles in the last few months - the last two in the last two days.
First bottle seemed lightly oxidized and deserving of a no-rating.
Last two bottles have shown quite nicely, though.
From garagiste: I am as willing as any to hate on garagiste but this wine does not give ample evidence for such passion.
Yellow-green appearance. Nose of meyer lemon, other citrus, even a hint of salinity, unbaked brioche (modest). Vibrant crisp acidty on the palate that lingers. Long finish.
I don't expect this to be much better: I think what this wine is now where it was meant to be . (I say this as someone who tends to like older wines and has held wines too long in the past.)
Enjoy it.

Very oxidized. I emailed Garagiste to let them know but got no reply. Don't know if this bottle was over-hyped but according to other notes, the quality of the producer is abysmal.

Disappointing. The fifth bottle from a case, and all have been sub-par, but not faulty. Almost no nose. The wine is fairly tasteless, very acidic, and gives little pleasure. Good colour, no premox, just a poor wine. Better with food, but not much. Contrast the PYCM Puligny 2005, which is very much better.

This wine was expensive at $39. I didn't like it. I opened it tonight with a grilled white fish that was cooked to perfection. The nose suggested butterscotch and a hint of lemon zest. There was perhaps a hint of some nut like quality, but just a hint. So far, OK. In the mouth, the wine fell apart. There was no there, there. The mid-palate was hollow and missing in action. There was nothing but slight acidity and no flavors to speak of. There was no finish. This is an sub $10 bottle of wine walking around in emperor's clothes. I don't care who the producer is or what the vintage is. Bought this from Garagiste. Enough said.

This wine is like a lady with way too much make-up. Maybe she is pretty with subtle and pure forms , but it is buried underneath all those oaky, toasted layers. Right now she looks vulgar and not appealing to me.

Drank over two days. Initial nose of minerals and rubber, mellowing out over time to a more balanced state. Body was nicely viscous, with oak, toast and wet stone notes.

At opening way too much bee wax oak for me. No salinity that I like /expect in a Meursault. Too much work elevage on it, that doesn't speak Meursault terroir to me, IMHO.

Very good with dungeness crab and garlic noodles. Nutty and rich with a touch of oxidation.

I don't like this one. Anemic on the palate. Pukey lemon. Lots of green oak. I think it's just way past its prime.

Pure Meursault. Beautiful aromatics, texture and balance. Rich flavor with a backbone or minerality and a hint of smoke.

A&B Vintners - Burgundy Tasting (Colin-Morey, Barthod and Mortet) (Trinity House, Trinity Square, London EC3): Slightly richer and broader than the Puligny, attractive creamy mid-palate but falls away on the finish. Good.
