  Deep yellow. Clear developed notes but underneath are aromas of crushed stone, wet chalk and yellow stone fruit.
  The wine has a fabulous focus with racy, fresh acidity, an intense, grippy, mineral texture and a wealth of fruit that all taper to a long, satisfying finish.
  Despite its 15 years age, it still has freshness and the mineral, chalky elements keeping the wine upright. Great concentration of flavour with a hazelnut twist; this is showing extremely well. Spot on Marc Morey.

  Seems I had this wine last nearly 4 years ago, and this is my last bottle--which I fully expected to be dead. I was mistaken. Golden butterscotch in color, and not showing much of a nose. Though at first the wine seemed a bit tired, with a bit of time it opened up to reveal a still-decent fruit level, with still some acidity, some butterscotch & some citrus. An older, but well-aged, developed burg that still surprised.

  Had with the boys at Morgans with oysters in Rye. I thought the wine was still showing no signs of age, had good fruit and acidity, and in fact was a bit tart. Nice straw color, hints of tropical fruit and overall a pleasant bottle, if perhaps slightly unbalanced due to the acidity level. Some expected the wine to be bigger and more robust--as was the Kistler Katherine we had afterwards.

  Wine and Food Pairing of Chassagne Montrachet from Domaine Marc Morey (Titanium Bistro): Initial notes of the chlorinated swimming pool with sulphur reduction but with some agitation the aromas start to show button mushroom, warm fruit, nuts and caramel.
  Surprisingly, for that SO2 note, the wine is more developed on the palate with good delineation, a long finish, and decent concentration. Complex. Not as bad as it first made out!

  Cracked a bottle of this to prove to myself that all with white burg is not awry. Full straw color; ripe nose of tropical fruit and mandarin orange; robust palate of pure chard fruit, on the ripe side with impact - bracing acidity to balance and to carry fruit through a long finish. Pretty tight now, sure to ease up and improve in bottle. Fear not.
