A sensational bottle of wine I’m in polite disagreement with Motz below (I’ve been a fan of hisn superlative palate for years). This bottle showed beautiful integration of wood, fruit, tannn, acid and age. For me it is drinking at its apogee for pleasure. I enjoyed Great saline and leesy fruit character with that crisp texture reminiscent of riesling.
1 bottle left and fully intend to reward myself with consumption in the next 9-12 mos-if I can find it. Who’s with me?

Excessive wood, next to the same vintage La Source, detracts from the whole. Too much wood, even by heavily oaked Burgundy standards. A delicious bottle of wine, by any measure. Drink or hold for several years. 93-94.

Excellent character in the class with honey color. Slightly muted with lemon flavors. Not sure if I waited too long or not long enough. Cork looked good.

Nez jeune, beurré, pierre à fusil, citron, pierre de rivière et un peu de gazon Bouche complexe, beaucoup de fruit, de matière et une acidité parfaite pour balancer le tout, minéral, citrons, aucune lourdeur ou overkill de sucre comme je le vois parfois dans des vins américains. Longue finale, gouteuse et persistante Un délice À l’aveugle j’aurais callé meursault!

Un vin qui fait très bourgogne, bel équilibre, légère acidité et boisé. Excellent avec une belle longueur, cependant le prix me stop pour des achats futurs.
