the wine poured a pale pale yellow with absolutely no sign of premox - lovely although I feel it is missing some of its length and lift as it ages - probably needs drinking

Woohoo, no pre-mox! Open for two hours now. Rich honeysuckle/bees wax thing, as well as some lemon curd and almond meat. Nothing sweet about it, just the dry components of those things. Smells nice, with some additional minerality there. Smells quite good and approachable. Nice round texture with great acid integration, with minerals, rocks and stones on the palate. Definitely has that wonderful, voluminous body you get out of the Grand Crus. Initially there isn't that much acid on the finish but then it does dial in with lots of minerals and stones. Good tartness with some bitter minerality. In a good place today.

Premox has impacted this bottle. Wine has turned a golden brown color. Slight apple juice flavor. Drinkable but not what I expected.

Pristine bottle perfect cork. Green apple, lime, wet stones. Primary flavors for this 15 year old bottle. No signs of tiring! Unbelievably youthful.
