Consistent with previous 2 bottles. Some sherry on the nose and some oxidative notes. Just dont think this wine has 15 years of age in itself. I believe the 10 year mark is where these peak. Interesting to try but these are past their prime.

Pretty similar to last bottle. This bottle benefited from having a much more oxidized 01 Beaucastel Blanc in the next glass. This wine is unique and different but think its on the decline. Still some interesting flavors and a fun academic experience with Aligote. Drink up.

Dark yellow. Fully aged and no upside from here. Color was darker than this wine drank. Definitely some oxidation but wasnt over the top. A particular style of white for sure. Not a ton of notes but felt this was just ok and a little heavy.

Sherry-like, with white peaches, wet socks, chalk al mixed into a rather weird concoction. Very very high acidity. I couldn't wrap my mouth around this.

(Ponsot Morey St.Denis Clos des Monts Luisants) Medium gold. The nose hits you with mild oxidation and a pronounced mineral note. The palate is concentrated and mouth-watering - very long with the help of that acidity too. The oxidation is there in the flavours but on a lower level than the nose. Lots of dimension in the mid-palate but a shame the bottle is spoiled so…

On the downhill slide. The goodness was once there, but a lot of it is gone. I enjoyed this for what it was, but certainly not for what it is.
