Oxidized, but not undrinkable. Nowhere close to as good as on release. Pre-mox strikes again. Waited too long with the expectation of classic white Burgundy being able to age well. No score given because it is flawed at this point and wouldn't reflect the original quality of the wine. But, at 16 years old, I'd probably give it something in the range of 83. Pretty good, but not where it should be.

Still hanging on, but not where it was on release. No score given because I think it is unfair to expect a 10 year old Rosé meant to be consumed early to perform much at this point and it drags down the average when people see it to evaluate a wine in general. Today I would give it an 86-87. Decent drinking wine still, but nothing more.

First, the wine is good and I like it. The tannins are fully mature and soft, but still plenty of structure. Very fruit forward, but almost no sweetness like you find in many Cali wines. It drinks a bit like BDX in a very ripe vintage that is fully extracted, but without the secondary notes you get with BDX. Perhaps a bit too much.
