Very tropical on the nose with a whiff of gunflint. Palate was ripe and dense with low acidity. Bottle was aeration for 4 hours before serving. Called it a 05/09 Drouhin Montrachet in blind. Not for aging.

Really wonderful, unlike the '11, worth the expense. Hint of mustard powder, toasted graham cracker key lime pie, lime zest, tremendous length, complex orange tinged acidity with a lovely white ash residual. Sublime.

Montrachet: Paired with the 2012 Bouchard, and I found this more enjoyable and a better wine. We had good luck with Drouhin MdL this weekend.

Atlanta Amoureuses & Monty Dinner: Double decanted for 1.5 hours. Bright and fresh with a lifted palate. Very nice.

Served blind. Sweet floral aroma, mineral palate, some oak on finish. Guessed 1er wasn't sure of appellation.
Surprised on the reveal, would have expected more length and complexity, though of course this is quite young.
