From magnum. Probably the best nose of any wine I’ve ever had, just a heavenly mix of smoke, ham, tropical pineapple, butter and so many more intriguing things.
The palate was more straight forward and mineral, not quite as spectacular as the beautiful nose but still a wonderful wine.

This started off nicely. Appealing nose and great minerality and freshness. Ross guessed it was a 2011. Later in the day, it lost most of the nose, and the palate became lemony and a little sharp. Going to try another bottle to see if it's a trend.

So the first taste was "oh no, its oxy and gone over the hill." So hints of hazelnut and such. But hey, I decided to see it through.
And now, three hours in, just gorgeous. No oxy. Not pronounced on the nose just absolutely serene on the palate. In harmony, great length and depth. Truly great wine. Glad I have more, if just a few.

One from the back cellar. Beautiful smoke and power, length and depth on the palate. Has very much eased into itself. Most of the rich oak expression (and fruit) has integrated completely. Amazing length of finish. Great stuff here.

(Cherisey Blagney Puligny Montrachet) COLOR-medium golden; NOSE-no notes; PALATE-this has enormous minerality; I've very, very high on this wine; rich, but not overbearing; the balance is extraordinary; this has weight, but doesn't feel heavy; this has great nuance and is extremely fresh; the acidity on the backbone is spectacular; one of the most complete white Burgundy's; DS-91/92; GV-93/94

Damn premox.... another one lost. Almost 80% of the one I bought from Kermit Lynch are bad. Storage was perfect, in case anyone wonders.
