Very different from the amazingly youthful bottle enjoyed in 12/19. Medium to full golden color; nose of bruised apple and lemon cake; tiniest hint of melon from aging; lactic, smooth and balanced; drink up!

Served at 55F. Expressive nose of buttery cider and flint. On the palate, beautifully balanced and intense with orchard fruit seamlessly fading to sturdy aged acid. I am not a big white-wine drinker but Batard-Montrachets are among my favorites and this bottle is right up there.

Great concentration and intensity on the nose from the get-go; layers of orchard fruits apple and pear with honeyed flowers on top with bits of flint and smoke. The palate showed more acidic lift than I would have thought for '09 white but ya never know! Great showing! The flavors are beginning to show some mineral complexity at this point. No rush at all!

Remarkably pale and youthful appearance; majestic nose of real substance, extract, volume and gravitas. Clearly GC level. Outstanding stuff!!!
