Really lovely, mature Meursault. Shockingly light and clear given its age. Lifted, clean nose of marzipan, jasmine, lemon cream, and a whiff of oaky spice. Nice texture and weight, with a little oily richness to go with the clean citrus and almond flavors. In a perfect spot.

Cellared since original release. Still light in color with classic Meursault butteriness in nose and mouth. Elegant and light in mouth with good enough acidity, freshness, and some oiliness of texture. Excellent showing for a 16 year-old village wine and a refutation to those who say that modern white Burgundies can't age. Even so, it's time to drink this one up, and it was even better a few years ago.
Went well with the first Dungeness crab of the season.

Quite tight at first but unfurls in the glass beautifully. You get some almond butter notes followed by ripe peach and white flowers. It is full in the mouth with good intensity and a nice line of citrus acidity. There's some honeysuckle and brulee development and it is a wine at its peak.

Pleasant wine but is without complexity. The ending was a bit off. Began without food and was better when food was added. I want to try another bottle to see if the off finish was just this bottle.
