A mid gold, vibrant hue. Fresh nose with no signs of premox. A massively rich palate that is only slowly resolving itself. This probably needs another 5-10 years to hit its peak. It should be brilliant....eventually !

rich yellow-gold color, intense and ponderous nose, buttery, substantial, laden with coated mineral notes spiraling around a profound core of orchard fruits, on the palate the grand scale and intensity of Montrachet in full effect but somewhat closed on the mid-palate, fine long finish, excellent balance, an impressive wine but not quite fully open yet IMHO, this needs a few more years to show its best.
**(**)+?, check in again in 2025

Slightly oxidized , still has ample notes of tree fruits, citrus and honey. Medium high acidity. In the mouth the wine is round and textured. Decent after taste.

Zachys La Paulée "Warm-up" Dinner (Lafayette - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. I haven't had this wine in 5+ years, and found it enjoyable but clearly older than 15 yo Montrachet should be from a good vintage.
