Light yellow-gold in color. Open knit aromas of buttered popcorn, stone fruits, yellow citrus peel, chalk and florals. Broad and rich on entry showing buttered pears and stone fruits, excellent mid-palate sap, very good acidity, and long floral and mineral finish. Holding strong although a tad ripe for a CC.

A year and a half since my last bottle. This was closed for business today after 2 hours in the glass. Finish was long but the block of limestone mid way through made this less enjoyable. At least a decade of good drinking once this reaches its prime in another few years. Revisit 2026 Day 3- popped the cork 6 hours in advance with about 4 ounces left and this was so much better, better complexity much less structure and drinking at peak. This should be decanted now for 4 hours plus to get the most of this wine.

Dinner with Nick: My contribution. Popped and poured, quite reductive at first but put on weight and sweetness after time in the glass. Interestingly someone guessed this as a Rougeard. Sweetness mellowed with air but the richness and vanilla notes remained which was why most were in Meursault. Very good drive and still incredibly fresh - most guessed this was half its age. Another data point to show why DIAM works.

Under DIAM, 375ml. Light straw color. Muted nose and shy on the palate immediately after pouring. Opens up after 1 hour. Excellent.
