I recently took a case out of bond. The first bottle I opened showed distinct signs of premature oxidation. On opening the next 2 bottles the fault was evident again. Fortunately I purchased these wines from the Wine Society in the UK. They replaced the entire case with a similar Meursault from the 2005 vintage. My advice to anyone who has these bottles at home/bond is to open them quickly!

Wonderful deep golden colour. Intense nose, with hints of marmalade and apricots with good botrytis coming through. Palate is beautifully balanced, with sufficient acidity to provide bite and longevity. Excellent body, slightly fat. Length is good, but does fade slightly earlier than anticipated. Overall a superb wine.

Still closed on the nose and tannins very pronounced. Recommend leaving until at least 2011.
