  (SYP) 3.5cm below cork, sos
  PNP - Old gold colour. Subtle aromas with notes of vanilla cream, lemon tart, honey, petrol and a whiff of white flower. Fading fruit on the palate with a lingering, tart finish. Everyone guessed this was a Village. We drank this bottle for 3.5 hours, and the wine significantly improved in the last half an hour. Nose became relatively muted, but in the mouth, it gained more volume over time, along with better detail and balance. It built through the palate before culminating in a palate-coating finish of great length. 87 points for the first few glasses, and with sufficient air, 92 points.

  Medium gold.
  Medium intensity, developed and slightly honeyed nose, with ripe apple, acacia, caramel and creamy and mineral notes.
  On the palate this is a medium + bodied wine which has retained good (medium +) acidity. It has a medium/medium + intensity surpirsingly fresh palate, with an attractive combination of steely minerality and slightly honeyed ripe apple, pears and acacia, with some creaminess. The steely minerality follows through with toast and honey notes on a medium/good length, if slightly charmless finish.
  Overall very good, certainly interesting, although perhaps lacking a little depth and charm.

  (From 2 different 750 bottles) The first bottle was pristine and featured prominent oak, caramel, minerals and golden delicious apple fruit. Tasted double-blind, this wine was clearly a chardonnay-based wine. It also felt like Burgundy (as opposed to New World) despite the oak. I guessed a Grand Cru white Burgundy, but thought it might be a Chablis aged in wood because of the minerals. A second bottle was slightly oxidised and picked up a heavy butterscotch smell and taste as it sat in the glass. My score is for the first bottle.
