Not oxidised and in remarkable nick for a village wine. Was not expecting this to be in such great condition. It was a delight to drink and if this is a $30 bottle of wine then its even more amazing. Just a lovely velvety soft aged white burgundy. Just the right amount of fruit but oh so mellow. A treat and a bargain!!!

lean and quite acidic, somewhat uninteresting upon opening, flavor, palate and nose development after 2 hours was essential to the development of a lean, bright palate, full of tannins and angular acidity, revelaing a nose of spice cake, dried apricots and tea leaf. No signs of premox Next bottle will try the day after......

Buttery tones on nose with nuts. Seems to be slightly oxidized, but is still alive in mouthfeel. Rich, fat feel with more butter and a mineral tone underneath. Reasonably fresh with some tones of herbs and flowers. A bit heavyset and not quite what to expect from this producer. But, again, this isn't a perfect sample and I've tried a bottle earlier which was well down the road to oxyville...

Bright yellow, green tinge in color. Pretty nose of apple/pear, honeycomb, Capt'n Crunch cereal, green tea w/mint, oak spice. Nice round feel in the mouth, yet spiked up well with a good dose of citrus acidity and spice. Very tasty fruit(green apple/pear/lime), spicy and well structured with minerals and acidity.....complexities of Vietnamese spring rolls, celery stick, crushed limestone, little vanilla oak barrel. Has kind of a harsh acid side to it, which I actually like, as well as some marshmallow vanilla oak which is lifted well by the acidity. I really like this wine...very typical for the Vintage, which is a style I adore. Should age well for awhile.

A fine wine, but the oak is a bit dominating on the nose. Fruit fruit and acidity underneath.
