France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
Chalky white peach. Very pure flavors and some popcorn/butter showing very nicely but still restrained and balanced. Young and packed with minerals. Loved it!
Floral and creamy nose. Flavors are packed with oysters and salt-water and lots of minerals. It is extremely "pure" and clean but almost no fruit. A touch of green and immature gooseberries. A wild and insane acidity balances out a very impressive and structured wine. Save this for 30-50 years to get it to open up :-) In total, a very unique and special wine. 95-96p
Green bell pepper and quite dusty but still some elegant fruit coming through. A pure and lovely wine but it really didn't "hit" me as I would have expected.
Glue and sweet cassis fruit combined with an almond touch. High acidity and some black pepper with some barnyard/manure. The alcohol seems a bit high but overall, it has a nice balance and depth. Very sexy wine.

Lots of sweet blackberry fruit and licorice. The fruit is pure and clean but the tannins are harsh and rough leaving the impression of a compact and dense wine. There is a strange note of cabbage in the nose but not in a way that indicates that there is something wrong with the bottle. I have detected this many time with wines that were overripe in their youth. There is nothing wrong with the flavors and overall the wine showed what it could. It does seem a bit unbalanced at the moment.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Elegant strawberry/raspberry fruit but still with some depth. Very airy and light but still with an impressive intensity. Just an amazing and beautiful wine. Absolutely LOVED it!

Pinot-driven and mature. Lovely wine.
