Deep gold color with aromas of rich preserved lemon and beeswax with hints of buttered popcorn Palate with bright lemon and broad luscious mouthfeel framed by perfectly balanced acidity. Maintained complexity over several hours. Still seems to have plenty of life left. Wish I had more

From magnum. A beautiful mature, spicy barrique-influenced Puligny-nose followed by a balanced, minty, crispy palate with liquorice and good length. As good as they get. Great wine from the start of the PYCM era.

Dark golden in color. Tastes very advanced on the palate. Still good and drinkable but definitely on the fast train to premox. Could be a storage issue.

Aromas of citrus, white flowers and minerals with a touch of smoky oak influence. Rich and round on the palate but with good balancing acidity. Good length. I didn't get the opportunity to taste this until hours after this was opened, so I would only assume that a non-premoxed bottle has bags of life left in it.

Medium yellow. Incredibly fresh orange peel that leaped out of the glass followed by smoke and lees-an altogether thrilling nose. Just about perfect balance of sugar and acid with pure fruit and a long, limestone finish. Caressing feel. Superb wine!

My last bottles of 12, too bad! The bouquet is laced lemons and saline. The taste is a mouthful of aged notes of pear. As the wines comes up to room temperature its flavor increases into a mouthful of bright minerality with some hints of candied lemon, but keep it on the cooler side. It tends to taste a bit maderized if it get too warm!
