Some wet wool and lanolin on the entry, slightly more rounded, richer and luxurious than the JM Boillot 2006 Batard, also in a very good place, refined and glorious.

2001 Burgs (Noize): Really not that evolved, and in great condition. Immediately obvious depth to the nose, which was complex and herbaceous and (suprisingly) retained a hint of reduction even at age 21. The palate seemed to shimmer, had a subtle power, and some spice and sharpness - again very youthful for its age. My overall impression was of a restrained class, and it would have been nice to follow the wine over a longer period, ideally from a larger glass, to appreciate its many layers more fully.

Jon's 50th Birthday Dinner: Opened for an hour. Great color and wonderfully mature white Burg. Softer and more rounded compared to the 2010.

Golden colour. Lovely nose that became steelier with air. Rich, golden honey notes. Slightly waxy/oily. Tiny bit of alcohol/heat but I’m nitpicking.
