bottle, fill excellent, cork slightly depressed but sound and firmly seated. This was much better than the previous bottles I've had. Taking on some golden tones, but not at all tired. A whiff of sulpher initially and then the essence of old style Meursault with excellent acidity with nuts, light butter, minerals...it exudes place. The last glass was still good the next day. A lovely wine with abundant character, so unlike most newer burgs.

A bit geriatric, this bottle had an advanced gold color. Seeing it in a decanter and tasting it blind, I initially thought it was a subdued Joly wine but for the sulfur. It was somewhat attactive and vaguely Meursault like after about 15 minutes, but charmless with dinner.

Les Degustateurs (Acadia Chicago IL): Good nose, butterscotch, citrus, needs time in the glass.

Extreme nose: straw, cooked banana, petroleum. This is delicious!
