really nice, could have one or two points upside from here (assuming it doesn't oxidize)... I would think drinking window is now thru maybe '30 or '32... this has ample acidity with citrus (for now at least) fruit, slight hints of mineral but mostly citrus, and importantly it doesn't show any of Bouchard's recent penchant for oak (thank goodness)

Loved this, total soil to glass transfer wine. I've found Bouchard inconsistent at times, but this absolutely hits the spot. Waves of rocky, saline minerality beneath tart citrus and green apple fruit, all conveyed with remarkable clarity, freshness, and length. Terrific wine.

Opulent and sapid nose of almond paste, butter, light floral notes, lemon and just ripe peach. The palate brings supreme concentration, tangy lush bitter citrus and a subtly salty, mineral and sizzling finish. A big Meursault which is still fairly tight, but approachable. 93+

Burgundy Paulée with the Chevaliers du Tastevin (Chez Mike, East Greenbush, NY): Stunning nose of citrus and slate. Big and juicy in the mouth, but quite harmounious. Will continue to improve for 5-10 years. Wow! 94-??

Still young, but drinking well, and always one of the great value 1ers. This should get even better.
