Dinner at Eleven Madison Park (Eleven Madison Park, New York): A bit on the young side, but this was otherwise a neat lieu-dit bottling. It had a nice, classic Meursault nose, with shades of butter and creme fraiche, some fresh green apple aromas, a bit of minerality and a whiff of coconutty oak. The palate was less rich than the nose suggested. There a suggestion of creamy butter both in its texture and flavours, but it was more marked by the freshness of the vintage, with lots of bright acidity running through white fruited flavours on the attack, through a lemony midpalate, and into a finish underlined by a little stream of mineral. Just a bit too young, so that it was a bit tart without food. It had nice lines and a certain verve to it though, and should settle down nicely with a few years in the bottle. Nothing to shout about, but this was pretty decent.

I tried the last four of these. None were obvious premox, but 2 were horrible and 2 just mediocre.

This bottle seemed to me to be still drinkable but just on the edge of oxidation. Rather disappointing, but time to drink up.

Domaine de Montille Wine Dinner (The Village Pub, Woodside, CA): Floral aromas on a faint nose. Crisp apple and apricot flavors with good body.
