    Interesting material, continued to change in the glass. At first tasted a little bit tired. Eventually it woke up, but still felt like it was a more subtle representation and missing a touch pop and wow factor. Having it up against the 01 powerhouse didn't do it any favors.

    Utterly stunning and clear WOTN. My last bottle 8 years ago is the reason I chase white Burg, so there were very high expectations here and this bottle did not disappoint. Complexity, depth, drive and a finish that lingered on and on. Amazing.

    We knew this one was darker because the other 2 bottles from the OWC were the same. Some said it was oxidized, but it didn't taste oxidized to me, just had this heavy botrytis influence. Almost tasted like a dry version of d'Yquem. I think it's just the result of late picking in a hot vintage.

    Fresher than the 99/05. Very good in its own right, and got better with air, but not quite at the same level as the 01.
