Drunk at gala dinner with fellow MW students. The best bottle I've tasted of this wine - proof that a sound cork can preserve freshness as well as a screwcap. The wine was so clean, refreshing and bright it was hard to believe it was nearly 10 years old, and this is the "basic" Pouilly Fuisse from this producer! Superb, and more evidence (as if it were needed) that Chateau Fuisse provides some of the best value wine in the Maconnais. It's far from the cheapest, but wow how they age gracefully. (Their 1988 Vieilles Vignes Pouilly Fuisse at 19 years old was pretty good a few years ago as well.).

Burgundy Tasting (JBaker's in York): -- popped and poured --
-- tasted a single pour blind --
Golden yellow color of medium-deep depth. Hint of sulphur on the Nose, along with a strong minty note. Tropical/mango flavor on the palate.

Drunk chex JNJ. Golden. Delicate fruit on nose but a mouthful of light fruit on palate. Hint of mango. Maconnais at its best.
