An impressive BBM, with all the power, authority and structure of a Grand Cru, but unfortunately no longer with the fruity charm and playful finesse of yesteryear (my previous tasting note is from eight years ago). It is now a serious, honeyed and salty wine, with excellent drive and length - it's just that the fruit and floral fragrance have all but vanished. Will last though.

I had purchased this at auction a few years ago and was worried that I should have consumed it earlier. Turns out that the wine was still performing quite well. While I was under-impressed with the nose which was closed but had some apricot and pear tones to it the palate had very nice acidity and salinity with medium mouthfeel but a very satisfying finish. Time to drink up as the wine wasn’t improving in the glass and given prior comments may be on the decline

(Paul Pernot et ses Fils Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet) Intriguing, mineral, leesy nose; tight but elegant mineral and tart citrus palate; long finish 94+ pts.

Similarly fearsome dark golden but this one performed well. Last ounces became honeyed 3 hours after opening. What a joy.
