Small vertical, non blind... this is I think the best white wine I have ever tasted. Gorgeous smell of taffy, white flowers and some citrus still. The finish was beyond anything I have had including many grand cru white wines.

I didn’t take notes and so needed to wait for rocknroller’s to recall the cru. This was stunning and a total treat to drink. My co-WOTN along with the 02 Dom ona night of riches from the first wine to the last.

The Triple Threat "165" Birthday Bash (65/60/40) (Minikahda Club, Mpls): Medium dark gold color plus. Savored a glass over 90 minutes. Same bottle as Chablis28. We seem to be in lock step so far with our ratings and notes which is interesting since we were seated nowhere near each other and didn't really get to talk about the wines much at all. Well, I completely agree with him. This was outstanding and in perfect shape. A wonderful example of aged white Burgundy. This has a great nose, old cedar box, flint, earthy, orange peel, lemon, honey and wet stone. The palate is full bodied with just tons of minerality; wet stones and slate, rich and still lifted, honey, lemon oil, citrus, golden fruit, very good length. This was a real treat.

Wow, another aged wine tonight that showed up in excellent condition. What a treat! This was a rare opportunity to drink fully resolved white Burgundy with amazing refinement and class and no discernable flaws or drop. Plenty of energy with gorgeous citrus, honey, stone fruit and spice. Very pretty! Thanks Dave D!

JM House. Deepish color. Let's call this natural oxidation at this age. Mature aromatics, sweet.
