Rich and textured. Cooked lemon, peach, some pineapple, a bit waxy, nutty, lanolin. Ok acid, I think it could benefit from being a bit sharper. creamy oak.
It seems like there is considerable bottle variation on this wine based on other tasting notes on here. My bottle was showing some age, but was by no means fully developed nor oxidized.

I had my doubts about this wine, as I have had a few wines that were well-beyond oxidized, and while this was golden in the glass and a bit honeyed on the nose, on the palate this showed subtle fruit and great acidity. Very nice. thedrunkencyclist.com

Clear brass. Promising nose with a touch of crusty sweetness. Mild oxidation on front, slate, light citrus, primarily lime and grapefruit. Upon opening a bit weak in the mid palate, nice medium finish.

Restrained and demure but a bit of lemon and slightly vegetal. Once it warmed a bit it woke up. Not a blockbuster but stellar. Very Good. 88-90 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com

Tasted a lot like a decent premier cru from Puligny. Fleshy, yellow fruit, hint of lanolin. Didn't get the sense it was holding anything back.
