  Oh my, absolutely stunning. Honey amber tinged with orange color, and lovely nose of pear and melon. On the palate, ripe sweet pineapple, fresh pear, apricot, orange and some apple, with a rich, smooth and buttery mouthfeel. A little well integrated oak. Lively acidity for a crisp clean wine. No hint of oxidation. Served with fresh seared dayboat scallops with ginger, lime, orange, garlic and cilantro butter sauce, baked sweet potatoes and balsamic/feta spinach salad. One of the best Montrachet I’ve had in a long while. Two bottles, both exceptional.

  Third bottle of this wine I've opened -- first was ox'd, second was blah, but this one was on point. If being picky, this isn't the deepest or most complex Monty and it's a little soft on acidity. But such an enjoyable bottle -- musky, layered wine with big mix of different flavor undertones that I won't bother listing out. Very solid bottle to enjoy w/ fellow white Burg lovers.

  A little four-square. Some nice floral and white fruit tones, and some nutty and flinty notes. But it's a little bit rough on the palate, almost like the heat from too much alcohol. Not bad but disappointing given expectations.
