Bottle and fill excellent, cork had a little black fungus under the capsule, but was solid. This bottle was still young with a bright yellow color and took awhile to open up. It was rather dull for the first hour, but then opened up and became a lovely Meursault. Very much in the Jobard style with excellent acidity. No hurry if this bottle is typical.

Golden color. Slightly madeirized nosewith notes of hazelnuts and overripe pineapples. Sweet and fairly complex with very nature flavors of brown butter and hazelnuts. Finishes a bit madeirized. This was a lovely wine that's now past its best. 84

This is terrific Meursault and terrific Jobard. Intense flavors of cold butter an classical hazelnuts all wrapped up in that Jobard-austere package. Plenty of drive and energy and clean finish. A bit too acidic for Kathy, but fine for me. A relatively subtle rendition of Genevrieres with nice detail and cut.

Just puchased from PC a few weeks ago and obviously newly labeled and re-corked. My first experience with Jobard and I love the style; austere, yes, but with age a suble richness and purity of the delicate fruit is utterly beguiling. The color is a beautiful medium gold, tinged with red/orange and green. Removed from my 50 degree EuroCave, popped and poured, the nose was shy at first. But it didn't take long for the extaordinary and complex aromas of peach, vanilla, hazelnut and kitchen spices to waft from the glass. Texture of whole milk. Perhaps the most elegant Meursault I have ever drunk due to a combination of the Genevrieres climat and the Jobard restraint. Really lovely wine that's clearly very mature but not yet fading at age fifteen.

Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys La Paulée Auction; 3/7/2019-3/8/2019 (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Wow, shocking upside surprise. Very ripe (of course), but so fresh and dense with an impressively long finish.

Oxidized. Shame as I've drunk 5-6 bottles of this win in the past 2-3 years that have been fantastic.
