  DRC M 75-11. Orange gold. Layered, butterscotch and white fruit aromas. Incredible richness, but perfectly poised. Stunning aged white Burgundy at its second peak. (2469/2940)

  Age has softened the richness to achieve a good balance here. While sweetness remains on the finish, the complex palate is defined as much by honeycomb residue, light wax, and nutskin notes as it is dry pineapple, and light stone fruits.

  Tasted blind, this wine had a light gold center and clear rims. The high- nose of apple cider, ginger, lemons, and honey was nice but a bit funky.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was quite viscous and rich with lovely fine-grained acidity. The length was fantastic. It got better and better in the glass and in the end was quite majestic. I would have to say the mouth-feel of this wine is amazing and special.
  
  However, the slightly oxidative note suggested by my apple cider description was a bit distracting. Thus, this very expensive bottle merited an impressive but not a superlative score.
  
  Given the above, I see no reason to save this wine for later.

  From a magnum. One of the three finest wines I have ever had the privilege of tasting. I will never forget this evening.

  Beautifully constructed wine. Never knew white wines could taste so good. Explosive nutty fragrance. Creamy texture of butterscotch on the palate. Opened up nicely over the next couple of hours. I suspect this powerhouse could last another couple of decades. Gorgeous!
