Ever so pale golden color. No signs of premix whatsoever in fact very youthful and vibrant. Really opened up after an hour +... Celery seed, citrus and essential oils with the classic gun smoke reduction. Full bodied but with a beam of acidity. Beautiful wine overall.

The first in a horizontal flight of the 1er ‘16s. Buttery gunflint struck match nose. Honeysuckle, game, brioche, beady palate. Not as rich as the Folatieres or Pucelles but beautiful balance. 94

Domaine Romanee Conti Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA): This wine was like a knife in a gun fight, compared to the world class competition from the likes of Lafon Meursault Perrieres, Ramonet Batard, and DRC Montrachet. That said, it's a promising wine for its level - pleasant but reductive at this stage. I expect this will be a high performing vintage for this wine in about 5-7 years.
