Caramel apple with botrytis notes, supported with toasted walnut and apple butter. Very atypical but very 2013, even if not particularly classically "Meursault." I liked this more than others did tonight.

Ripe orchard fruit coming across as fully mature, surprisingly advanced vs last bottle tasted earlier this year. Still good weight, but this gradually lost steam over the 30+ minutes in glass.

Apple and lemon with good weight, better richness, also well balanced. Slightly less complex to me vs what I expect from top 1er Cru in a great vintage. Others enjoyed this more than I did tonight.

Popped-and-poured I found this unacceptably reductive to an extent that never dissipated (after 20+ minutes), but others thought it improved with more air.

Dark color, but fresh enough. Overall enjoyable, but not at the level I would expect from Meursault Perrières, and certainly lacking the finesse and terroir.

Restrained nose, palate bracingly austere. Good density but frankly little pleasure.

Ripe and enjoyable with good density, but frankly non-descript without any Meursault markers for me.

Single blind in Lafon/ Morey flight. So much lemon and apple with chiseled minerality from start-to-finish, showing firm structural support at all times, just in the near background. So much energy on the finish. A great 2007, I thought this was the Morey 2007.

Single blind in Lafon/ Morey flight. Powerful and dense with fully mature ripe orchard fruit. Very long finish. Very good now, but not quite as fresh, or at the same level as a couple of bottles opened in 2017. I immediately identified both of the Pierre Moreys from the aromas alone, but mistook the vintages.

Single blind in Lafon/ Morey flight. Lots of ripe and tart apple plus baked apple. Certainly mature, but superbly complex and layered. A few years past its absolute peak (I had better/ fresher bottles in 2014 and 2017), but still so enticing.

Single blind in Lafon/ Morey flight. Wow, this just exploded out of the glass with ripe orchard and stone fruit along with tropical hints. Further hints of savory spice and fresh, herbs. This seems so very ripe to start, but simultaneously bright and minerally into a very long finish. Consensus wine of the night.

Previous bottles were fantastic, but tonight's was certainly getting tired, although showing good density and holding together. One taster suggested this might get better with more air, which is very common with Mounir's wines. Alas, that was not the case with this wine.

Apple and nut butter cam across as slightly tired aromatically, then brighter and fresher on palate, with a long-ish finish. Bottles from this case have been very inconsistent, and tonight's was not as great as my previous two opened in the past two years.

Ripe apple and pear, but wonderfully bright and minerally. Aromas in particular are nicely supported by floral and nutty character. Starts richer, finishes more lean with a long finish. Very good now.

Single blind in 04/05/06 vertical. Popped-and-poured. Slightly green and herbaceous but still fresh and good balance. Easily identified as the 2004, but a relative success for that problematic vintage.

Single blind in 04/05/06 vertical. Opened an hour before serving. All black fruit. Started out as both backward and slightly dirty. More air brought out more fruit richness, but there also seemed to be some faint heat damage or other form of oxidation, so an imperfect bottle, despite clearly having lots here. Most of us correctly identified this as the 2005 based on its still firm tannins.

Single blind in 04/05/06 vertical. Opened an hour before serving. Ripe black and red cherry with spice more reminiscent of a fine Vosne 1er Cru. Nicely dense, wonderfully fresh, very well balanced. Very good right now, probably good for another decade+.

Popped-and-poured, this was much more accessible vs when tasted one year ago. No reduction this time, just an enchanting aromatic start that is floral with both tart and ripe apple character. Palate is slightly less complex, but balanced and fun. The austerity from last year is gone, this is drinking well already now.

Tasted double blind. Red cherry and berry with subtle floral and spice notes that made me think it from Volnay! Good lift with some earth notes on finish that made me think this older, Like everybody, I thought this Burgundy, mostly in the context of our Perrières tasting this evening, but it also seemed nicely elegant and minerally.
