Blind White Tasting with Top 2000 White Burgundy (Les Nomades - Chicago IL): Not nearly as interesting as another bottle from the same case from a few weeks ago. That bottle seemed to freshen up with more air, but this bottle started with oxidative character and that mustiness never softened. So while this wasn't overly advance, it was clearly mature and displaying moderate intensity and length.

At first I feared this might be slightly oxidized but within 2 minutes realized almost the opposite - it was reductive and would have benefited from more air. Within 20 minutes this was lush and ripe with lots of spice, good intensity and moderate length.

Casual Burgundy Dinner (The Bristol - Chicago IL): Reasonably oxidized. I was hopeful this might freshen up, but alas, that was not to be.
