  13,5% alcohol.
  
  Medium-deep burnished golden yellow color. The nose feels evolved, ripe and sweet-toned with complex aromas of acacia honey and bruised apple, some browned butter tones, light smoky nuances, a little bit of creamy custard, a hint of nutty wood and a touch of dried apricot. Enormously attractive overall feel with so many intermingling nuances! The wine feels evolved yet not old but very harmonious and complex on the palate with a rather full body and nuanced, layered flavors of wizened apricots and creamy oak, some stony mineral tones, a little bit of toasty and smoky character, light browned butter nuances, a hint of dried exotic fruits and a mineral touch of tangy salinity. The mouthfeel is rich, concentrated and somewhat viscous, yet the wine comes across as pretty precise and structured, thanks to the high acidity. The finish is long, rich and complex with a layered aftertaste of developed nuttiness and toasty complexity, some salted lemon notes, a little bit of bruised Granny Smith apple, light dried apricot tones, a hint of creamy oak and a touch of stony minerality.
  
  A fantastic and classically styled Corton-Charlie at its peak. Although the wine is not showing any signs of immediate decline, I don't feel the wine is going to benefit from any additional aging. This is as good as it gets - and fortunately that's pretty darn good. An excellent old white Burgundy. Great value at approx. 90€.

  Quite mature pouring a honey golden color. Fresh and focused acidity (fresh cloudberry) with layers on layers of mature complexity and depth. Picking up buttery notes, some marshland funk, a touch of liniment? A top bottle!!

  Peachy and tropical with low acidity. One dimensional. Should drink up asap.

  Should drink it as red wine...not chilled just a very little bit cold.
  
  Amazing wonderful bouquet and aroma. All good scents intermixed so beautiful. Sometime takes me into the expensive Meursault then visits and makes a brief stop at Le Montrachet Grand Cru.
  
  This is the only one vintage I have so it's very difficult to give the score but it's really very nice in everything. I love this wine...love...that's it.
