Fun to revisit this wine and a much better showing than the last bottle from four years ago. Rich old school butterscotch Meursault with excellent vintage yellow fruit quality and mouthwatering acidity, even fresher on day 3. Mellow, spicy, ultra precise, profoundly deep, not huge but very undertoned and elegant. Best example of aged white Burgundy. 94-95

Acker 2019/02 (Vaucluse): Intensely honeyed nose with hints of oxidation, yet there is some lively crispiness on the palate with nuanced notes of butterscotch, flower and acidity. Should have been better before its 40 year of age. 93
*Purchased from private cellar. Hope to find one with better provenance as I hear these old Maison Leroy whites can be amazing.
