This was lively, tart and fresh despite its age. Just a little caramel in the otherwise green/yellow color, the nose leapt from the glass with oak, vanilla butterscotch notes. Crabapple, grass and lemon-lime flavors. The oak becomes more apparent as it warms as does a butterscotch roundness to balance the acidity. Butterscotch on a longish finish.

Light straw-golden, quite pale. Somewhat shy at first. Nose with dusty lemons and plenty minerals. Medium concentration, slim and linear with long aftertaste. This is very lovely, though not quite up to 1998, 2000 and 2002 standards. May last for quite some years to come, but not sure if it will improve considerably.

Bourgogne visit 29/10-1/11-2023: Past its best a long ago. Almost all aromas and flavours disappeared. A very little dried fruit left.
