Nose: cantonese sausage, sesame, durian, pineapple, white flower, nuts Notes: 13.5% ABV. The color is still quite light for its age and the wine is demonstrating quite a sesame and nut driven nose. Often old whites that are slowly declining will show a Cantonese sausage or durian kind of aroma which really is not very exciting for me and means it's time to drink up. This surely was quite a complex bottle but I'm really not too excited about it. Drink: now+ Rating: 87

PNP. Young straw color. Nice secondaries on the nose. Good fruit with a crisp mouth feel and nice finish. Seems to be holding strong but would drink now. A-

PNP. Lighter in color and on the palate, and more crisp and cut to it than the '06 Boillot Montrachet we had for dinner last night. This is very enjoyable with great balance and a nice finish. In a great spot right now so would be drinking up but this may surprise and hold for some time. A-

I've had a number of bottles of this, the last one in 2014. This was the best. Previous bottles were showing the oak a bit more than I would like, but it seems to have been absorbed. Gorgeous nose filled with florals (Tuberose? Jasmine?) and maybe just a bit of spice. The palate was focused, showing some nice citrus notes, and a creaminess juxtaposed with firm acidity. Lovely wine. Drank over the course of a couple hours from Zalto Universals. Sounds like some other folks have experienced some premoxed bottles, or maybe poor storage.

Nice and crisp although the fruit seemed to be fading just a touch on this one. Still nice but would be drinking now. A-
