Flinty and tropical bouquet showing pineapples, starfruits, cream, chalk and sesame. Palate very forward and showy, good round mouthfeel and texture but also beautifully balanced with a crisp acid spine and lengthy finish.
Bouquet of waxed fruit, honeysuckle, lychee, mango peel and peanut skin. Palate has a lot of depth and power. These are great wines but it’s not really in my style and preference.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Slow ox-ed for 10 hours before dinner but felt like it needed a decant for 2-3 hours more! Bouquet showing yellow peaches, starfruits, pears, honeysuckle and lilies. Palate showing good ripeness and sturdiness, has the stuffing of the vintage. But give this another 5-10 years!
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
Supposed to have some affiliation with Bizot but this was leagues and miles away from Bizot. Bouquet showing walnut skin, honeysuckle, cheese, starters and pineappl. Palate has focus but a little tired and fading.
