Light gold, showing some age which it should at 21 years old. Initially quite closed. Beautiful mouthfeel but seemed a bit tight at first. After an hour, got a beautiful hazelnut, honeycomb nose, palate still lovely and fresh and just got better and better as the evening went on. Great length and poise. Grand vin indeed!

From magnum, dark color. A very complete wine, proper Montrachet. However, this was quite advanced for its age and format. We caught it at just the right time, drink now/yesterday.

Color is turning slightly pale golden, cool aroma of honey, white flowers and burnt flint. Massively concentrated on palate, refreshing acidity, sweet but everything in great balance. Not really power without weight but also not far away. Very long finishing. Plenty of life ahead, nonetheless a wow wine.

Cracking good, very pure with long finish. Clear favorite over the '05, which is too young but quite promising.
