Glorious wine for a villages, at absolute peak. Slight burnt-matchstick reduction, great length and depth, ripe + minerals + acidity. After 45 minutes began to lose some definition -- this feels fully mature & time to drink up

Pure nose of white peach and flowers, light citrus and a hint of melon. Vibrant, bright fruit on the palate. Citrus zest, fuji apple, melon and a slight leesy quality. Very complex, layered and well balanced. Drinking great now! France vs. US Blind Tasting 6/15/12

Coming into its own. For a village wine, this is excellent. Balanced, with the requisite minerals and steeliness. 91 Points, a little better than my last bottle.

Quite pale. A bit closed in at first, dusty, but opens up with an hour decant. This is concentrated and long, racy and fine with this intriguing lemon-twist in the finish that sort of knits it all together. Has evolved splendidly, is now approaching maturity imo. Super QPR and a lovely example of village puligny at its best.

served this for new year's day dinner at selkirk manor. shared with pat, ellen and mahesh. paired with colossal shrimp (boiled then chilled). i opened this bottle since available reviews did not portend great longevity. the wine was initially somewhat flabby. after a few minutes it developed a hefty nose of walnut and hazelnut. mahesh detected granny apple. the wine improved somewhat as it warmed from fridge temperature to room temperature. overall, the wine was very enjoyable and offered a good introduction to puligny-montrachet for which we have limited tasting experience. nevertheless, it was somewhat disappointing in comparison with my expectations. re-reading wine advocate note, it appears that the winemaker went a little too far in creating a dry wine to satisfy my taste preferences. i am glad that i obtained this wine at a deeply discounted price. i do not see this wine improving with additional bottle age.
