  Minerality on the nose. Sharp lemony citrus. Not impressive but sufficient.

  The deepest gold among the lot. A milky way of minerality , honeysuckle and nectar that radiates in its complete aura. Good weight. This is plesantly satisfying.

  Gunpowdery smoke. Excellent balance, body, acid and fruit. A basket of citrus range fruits sitting beautifully on the patio of the summerhouse, basking in the comforting mid morning sun.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

  Also fishy but not as much as the Louis Lequin Morgeot. Pungent! with honeysuckle bordering the edges. Some heat showing but blaanced off nicely with superbly rich and full mouthfeel of fresh butter. Aging needed for its potential to show.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru

  Muted cherries. Dimmering palate that is a bit on the thin side. However, it did do a lot better with the lamb as the sweeter berries surfaced when paired with food.

  Smells of cockroach infested kitchen cabinet. Bright cherries and berries ending with sufficient earth tones. Textbook and simple enough.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru

  Beautiful "ass" that makes me enjoy burgs so much. This tastes like aged coke that has lost its fizz with herbs soaking in it for some time. A grand dame.

• 2004 Domaine Prieuré Roch Clos Vougeot 87 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

  An interesting scent of Indian essential oils and shrivelled strawberries. Savory double boiled soup spectrum of flavours that reminds me of the Leroy Bourgognes I had.
