France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
This was a high risk for pre-mox but showed none. Initially very tight but not closed. Big oaky aromas with vanilla creme. once it opened up, it was soft and pleasing, not the robust chardonnay flavors I had expected. Nice acidity.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
Deep violets, plum, floral, a bit of tar. Juicy. Sweet cranberry, strawberry stems. Later cool tarragon. On the edge of modern but not, you could see how California winemaker might misinterpret they could make this wine, but they can't, it's minerally burgundy.
