I agree largely with the prior comment (Blair, 5/12/2013). Moderately premox'd, but disappointingly so. Distinctly nutty in character. Evolved well beyond what it should be, in an unbalanced way. Drinkable, only because frankly I suspected / expected it given the producer, so knew what to expect. My wife, who is my "North Star" re: white burgs, would not drink this. I'm disappointed by this producer, given a limited number of data points with (in general) similar results.

Mildly premoxed. Drinkable, but not at a Grand Cru (or even 1er Cru from an excellent vintage) level. Needs to be chilled down quite a bit to get the perceived acid to a sufficient level (and also to cool down the alcohol and sherry notes). Drinking this with some strong cheese - it is adequate. Glad this is the last one.

This bottle was badly prem-oxed. Dark gold color...unpleasant butterscotch nose. Way gone.
