  A rare foray into fine white Burgundy. An usual bottle, I'm assuming perhaps past its best? Butter (real butter, and not just 'buttery') and nuts on the nose, even some sherry characteristics, which made me worry that this bottle was slightly oxidised. More sherry on the palate which blew off shortly to give more by way of nuts, a lick of oak and yellow-green apples. A sip with some Christmas turkey resulted in an explosion of this over-ripe, bruised yellow-green apple which astounded me. After was more sweet apple juice and some recurrent sherry notes, but overall this was an interesting bottle that I'm not sure I'd have again.

  Started off lemon to light gold but very quickly darkened to gold. Fine depth, mostly lemon. Touch of hazelnut too. Bit of light honey notes. There did develop a sherried aspect, burnt toast which I couldn't really decide if it was slight Pox or just aged white burg. Given the rapid darkening upon opening I suspect the former. Still interesting but not sublime.
