Fresher than the other bottle I've had - a strong butterscotch note in the nose but in a positive, mature, way, and the wine still fully integrated. Delicious, rich, old-school white burgundy. Oxidation did kick in after awhile - don't leave it too long, either to open a bottle or to drink it once it is open.

French Wine at Lunch, and with the World Cup final: Concentrated, powerful, wine slightly showing its age: not oxidized but getting a little fat and the acidity sticking out a tiny bit too. A proper wine still, but time to drink up.

Not sure this is slowing down anytime soon. Bright, fresh, pure fruit. Zippy acidity. Beautiful minerality that expresses on the finish. Still quite a bit of oak. This has all the vibrancy of youth but with the seamless integration that comes with some age.
For those still holding bottles, I left a glass in the bottle overnight. If that's a predictor for age-ability, this one can keep going. Still beautiful on the second day, a small fade to the fruit (somewhere between slight and imperceptible on the scale).

20 years old and fully mature. Lovely nutty, tertiary aromas with yellow fruit, lemon oil. Medium+ bodied, still good freshness its age.
