FWSG Puligny Grand Cru vs Meursault Genevrieres tasting. Semi-blind. Double samples. Tasted in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow lemon colour. Legs. Nose is clean, shy medium- to medium intensity, with aromas of stony minerality, chalk, citrus lemon peel. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of citrus lemon peel and pulp, lime, chalky, wet stones minerality. Mouth-watering long finish. Very good quality. Initially a little austere, but intensity builds up with air. I love the acidity and tension here. Still very fresh for something 14 years old. Could age more, but not sure to what end as my friend Asparagus says. For a domaine with a premox rep, it would be wiser to drink up sooner. Perhaps I am just over-rating this based on my liking of the acid tension.

Have to say quite a disappointment. Not at all sure why Mikulski wines command such high prices. Perhaps a bit too subtle for me. Great white Burgundies should have different flavours at different times in the mouth. Cannot say I could detect any evolution here.

Weisses Burgund vs. Alpenländische Chardonnays: 3 Stunden dekantiert... Whow! Mittleres Goldgelb. Ausdruckstarke frische Nase nach Südfrucht und etwas Holz. Am Gaumen zuerst etwas zurückhaltend, im Vergleich zu den Konkurrenten deutlich feinere Klinge... tolles Frucht/Säurespiel, Mineralik, immer mehr Nuancen... ellenlang! Schon sehr schön rund, ich würde sagen wir sind in der Trinkreife angelangt...

Honeyed nose, quite advanced and thin.

Thin, light, some citrus and minerality but under par for this vineyard. Can't believe it will improve much
