  3rd bottle out of 6 purchased from Zachys Wine Auctions in December 2018. My experience with this bottle was consistent with the prior two.
  
  Deep yellow color that would normally appear to scream premox. On the nose, tropical fruit aromas, caramel with some floral notes, but no whiffs of premox. Rich flavors of mango, apricot with a surprising amount of acidity in the background that kept everything in balance. While the color was much too advanced for a white Grand Cru at 13 years of age, this wine is drinking well today, though I would look to consume it sooner rather than later.

  Wine meet – Chambertin @ Lars: Dark yellow and advanced colour. No clear taste of oxidation but it was probably a bit advanced. Not rated.

  2nd time having this in as many months. This time paired with lobster! A heavy wine which lacks cut. Not the biggest fan.

  nose - butter, butterscotch, and as it warms, peach
  mouth - heavy. the fruit gets more expressive as it warms. had some elements that reminded me of mead. this would be an appropriate pairing with lobster.

  I loved a bottle of this a couple years ago but this one has crested and heading down the hill of maturity; light to medium golden color; deep and ripe underlying fruit, marzipan, nut skin, hints of melon. Brilliant acidity keeps it alive and long on the finish. 91+
