Burgundy Wine Club dinner 2019 - Chambolle: Butterscotch on opening, and we thought maybe there was a pre-mox problem. Not sure about that, but if not, this is just not a great Meursault. I could feel the oily and ample texture of this place, but if there is detail in terroir expression in this wine, it is obscured by either pre-mox or perhaps just general flabbiness.

Slight golden/green metallic color....first smell seemed a little ox AND corkiness?? Fu@$#$! But hold on there cowboy.....after a few sips and some air....the ox is no more than some ripe baked apple, hazelnut and honey....the corkiness has become a wonderful smoked flint, chalky minerals, little hops-like funkiness? What is striking is the piercing lime citrus acidity giving the somewhat ripe fruit a good cut! Great florals, chalk, minerals, and some aged honey. I like the funky complexities...but I can see some calling for Mr. Corkiox. Great 07 acidity....but I probably wouldn't risk cellaring this any longer.

Very nice bottle of mature Burgundy drank with a rotisserie chicken. Bright and fresh with no signs of premox. Drink

Brought to CT Seattle White Burg tasting; so sad but completely corked with nothing but wet cardboard on the nose and in the mouth.
