Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium acidity, but it's a bit flabby on the mid-palate The feel is also more lush with upfront tones of quince, lemon curds, oranges, oak, and some white peaches.
Overall: This was basically the same as it was 4 months ago. It's not all too exciting and isn't really going to gain with age.

Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium acidity, but the acidity was a bit flabby. The feel is also more lush with tones of quince, pears, creams, and lemon curds.
Overall: This shows a lot more flesh and lacks some acidity. It's not completely flabby, but it would be nice to have more of a spine. This definitely isn't one to age and should be drunk earlier.

Exemplified the style nicely. Not massively sophisticated, but definitely has that extra layer you expect from a Montrachet. Longish finish. Half bottle was a quite nice aperitif before Christmas dinner. My wine novice mother was duly impressed.

A Friday Afternoon at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): Nose: There is a lushness to the nose with upfront tones of lemon curds, oranges, white peaches, and quince tones. This is showing more like a california chardonnay and is lacking depth.

Another Friday Afternoon @ Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL): Better than last time. The fruit was a bit more elegant and the oak was sweet. Didn't have a ton of complexity, but I found it nice to drink.

Friday Domaine Tasting- 09 and 10 Red and White Burgundies (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): Nose: The nose was very lush and almost california-like with tones of quince, spiced pears, creams, lemon curds, and peaches. There was good complexity, but it was lacking depth.

Final Friday at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL): A bit fat and vinous on opening. The acidity was moderate and the fruit was REALLY lush. I didn't have a chance to revisit this.
