Pours out looking fresh with a green tinge. there's plenty of matchstick and smoky mineral action on the nose. The fruit is ripe and dripping with orchard fruit intensity. It is full, rich and heady with a light butteriness. Acidity is relatively soft but the wine has energy and outstanding length of flavour.

Completely oxydized: the wine was very cloudy and appeared very aged (more than a '79 Latour CC which is my reference point for white Bourgognes). Nose and mouth had no other interest than to confirm this advanced state of evolution . Bought on auction. A disgrace for X-mas dinner.

Cafe Pinot: This was soft, melon, slight aging character, bruised apple, but a lacking structure, acidity. A bit flabby, but nice flavors.

2nd btl after 1st was premoxed. Wild, exotic nose, tropical with hints of non-existent botrytis. Lovely.
