This still remains one of the best batches of Puligny-Montrachet that I ever had the pleasure of getting - and even though this particular vintage has aged past its prime (or even drinkability), this is one of the rare spectacular bottles reminiscent of yore.

This was really an amazing bottle. The more I go through them, the more I like them. I can't say anything but good things about it... the colour is absolutely phenomenal, and it's a rich, buttery honey finish. I had this bottle without any decanting, and it was absolutely phenomenal.

great nose. the age really comes out. color is a deep, rich gold. honey and caramel notes. very powerful wine, maybe even a bit rough at first; certainly needs to be decanted for a while - then again, for 12 years in a bottle, that would be a fair point.

Showing well, interesting. A bit of bottle variation in the three bottles. Still quite a bit of life left

Clean fresh nose
first impression is light apricot
next it brings on a smooth texture with honey undertones
with a creamy lemon finish.
