From a Magnum. Fresh vibrant & crispy young with an amazing depth and minerality. Drank over 5 hours and only became better and better. Legendary but sadly my last one.

Nick's Spectacular Birthday Dinner (Hippopotamus Restaurant, Wellington): A light gold colour. An exquisite, intoxicating, perfumed bouquet, I have difficulty describing in words. Notes of honey and mixed spices, with an oxidative whiff ('properly oxidised', noted Nick). On entry to the palate, the racy acid initially surprises and then the incredible concentration and power comes in behind. The Montrachet has drive and power to burn, that allows the wine to handle the serious new oak here with absolute ease. This is an amazing wine, ripe, with a strong core of very dense fruit that is perfectly oxidised, with enormous vibrancy and energy, from the gorgeous acids. Con, a tough judge of a Chardonnay, had this as his WoTN at a score of 20/20. For many here it was WoTN and, for me, a serious contender for my white WoTY. And this was another exquisite food match from the Hippopotamus, with the wine's sparkling 2007 acids beautifully cutting through the fat of the duck liver parfait. Again, the food uncovered new flavour dimensions in this great Montrachet. The wine is in its optimal drinking window but with many years to go.
