Green apple and lemon with incredible precision, density and power. This is the third time I have had this wine in the past two weeks. Happiness.

2011 Coche-Dury Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères
92 points
Served alongside Roulot 2011 Meursault Perrieres, which is open with huge energy from minute one. This Coche-Dury is fatter, more stone fruit driven, while also supplemented with sweet spice. While riper and sweeter, it was also less forthcoming at first, but more accessible after open an hour+.
Red
2010 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Boudots
93 points
Open and decanted ~45 minutes before serving, then consumed over next hour+. Red and black berry aromas and flavors with full-on Vosne spice, showcasing anise, nutmeg and dark chocolate. Starts lush and engaging, seemingly a bit closed down in middle just now, but powerful again on the finish.

2011 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Vosne-Romanée
85 points
Tart red berry aromas and flavors with some sweeter supporting spice. slightly noticeable pyrazine, rough hints on the finish detract this by a point of two. This was popped-and-poured, then consumed over an hour, and those green, pyrazine notes were clearly softer by the last glass vs the first.
