The matchstick reduction is pronounced on the nose. The wine has nice yellow fruit, good acidity, some oak, but a little bit hollow or short on the finish. Still very nice, but I wouldn’t wait to drink these up as I am in agreement with IL_Diavolo’s comments from last year.
So after this bottle has been open for 1.5 hours or so, the wine has improved. On the palate the fruit is more luscious and the finish is longer. So I upgraded the score a little bit. A very nice wine. But I still recommend enjoying these bottles in the near term.

Late Birthday BYO: En rar miks av honning og reduktivitet, zappy og med grep samtidig - men høy kvalitet og fremstår allikevel som fint balansert, litt røyk, bakt sitron, sitter meget lenge. Inne i drikkevinduet sitt. 92-93p

Word of caution that these Jobard natural cork closed wines can be quite variable at this age - some bottles are definitely ageing faster than this one. This one though was a good example of this wine at its peak - the matchstick reduction is still present but blends well overall with the yellow fruit (even if the reduction is perhaps the primary thing you notice). Even the good bottles seems to have peaked so time to drink up I think.

Matchstick, citrus, reduced, saline, this one is close to Coche style, wonderful Meursault Villages.
