  Purchased on release and light amber yellow with lemon hazelnut nose. Powerful mature thick palate of almond coated stones trailing into a whiff of butterscotch-delicious with crab cake appetizer. Best now to 2028.

  Bottle breathe for 30 min. Nose with honey, wax, and sugar crane. Full body palate surrounded by honey, zest and flower. Not overly complex but nice. Better after 30 min in the glass. Medium finishing.

  A nice buttered nose and on almonds.
  
  The touch is smooth but remains lively, it's precise. The wine is very pleasant but its presence fades with the aeration. First the nose, but it is especially the finish that is lacking. While the mouth suggests a lot, it falls quickly, too bad, the length is short, like a feeling of cut ...
  
  This wine is not able to give something more tbh

  Colour is good, consistent with age, no darkness. Fine on nose, nuts, butter - clear. On palate rich attack, then lush mid-palate. Acidity present but something of a rearguard. Quite long - distinctive "stony" note as it develops. Good finish. I can see this dividing opinion. For me my score is slightly restrained. A treat.

  Meursault Perrieres blind tasting 1988-2011: Rich nose of bee wax, nuts, red apples, is there a touch of oxidation? may be. In any case the wine was closed but had racy acidity. Disjointed, some loved it more than me. May be needs more time. 92+
