  the second I poured the wine into glass I knew we were in trouble. The color was simply too dark - hinting at advanced oxidation. And indeed it was very flat on the palate at first, although it wasn't corked. Chilling it down and further aeration improved the experience, but it was still over-ripe, with some sweetness and toasty oak on the nose. Soooo disappointing.

  refreshing lemon citrus, a little more toasty here... almost more like a Meursault with the bigger toasty nose. Later the ripe and buttery notes showed up as the wine opened more, and the wine fluctuated between the buttery side and the toasty side.

  decanted on arrival at the restaurant, which wasn't really enough time. At one point the temperature got a little too warm, so the palate got too bitter. Nose of orange marmalade, smoky, toasty, with some sweetness later on. Got better when we cooled it down. Disappointing compared to the last bottle.

  Bright urine gold color. Nose is very understated but powerful, the antethisis of flamboyant...like monosyllables spoken by someone who runs the world... followed by butter popcorn reinterpreted by Heston Blumental, the molecular cuisine guy. Palate is pitch perfect entry of balanced acidity quickly followed by a descent into mid-range church organ notes of tens variations of lemon framed by an incredible oak-polished furniture frame of that Heston Blumental butter popcorn thing. Is still in the first phase of its life but is absolutely beguiling. All sorts of caramel tones emerging on the finish together with hints of cinnamon stick, celery and more multiple waves of lemons, ozone, oyster shells and a bracing Atlantic sea breeze. A resonance that whilst not heavy, is knee-buckling. All that said, this needs another 5-10 years to fully unfold and then it may get close to my favourite, the 1989. Wonderful over Christmas French organic free range turkey and all the trimmings. Don't drink too cold.
