  3/8/2023 - Cote d'Or Likes this wine:

  Tasted over 2 hrs
  -translucent med gold
  -beeswax lanolin feral smoky funk honey
  -med/med+ acidity adds lift to the finish, med/med- weight silky textured focused mineral honeyed but not sweet gently sappy lemon residue and moderately long finish with faint caramel oak
  -opens up nicely with air to reveal a beguiling fairly complex wine, no oxidation

  I've now had 4 bottles of this wine - all of them stored at 55 degrees in my personal cellar.
  
  The first bottle was in October 2019 and the second sometime later in 2019. The first bottle was excellent - full-bodied and nutty. hints of honey and mineral. Really an excellent bottle.
  
  The second bottle was fine, but it was missing the high notes that the first had.
  
  I served the second and third this Labor Day 2020 for lunch with friends. Both bottles were a disaster. One was completely premoxed with the second tasting slightly premoxed but also a strong sulfer/reduction taste. We threw both bottles out.
  
  So . . . either these bottles are aging out OR I just got lucky on the premox with the first bottle OR I somehow damaged the bottles (but I doubt it). I would be very careful buying this wine and, if you have it, drink it up.

  Showing signs of oxidation to the fruit, nutty. Advanced for its age despite excellent storage. Be careful

  Stones, stone and citrus fruits, and a trace of honey/vanilla on the nose. Palate has enticingly creamy, weighty fruit on entry but becomes lighter with a sense of tension midpalate as the acidity and slight oak tannins weigh in. My only other LaFarge white has been the Aligote but this is in a whole different class (of course).
