By coincidence it is almost to the date 5 years since I tasted this wine latest. And everything is the same - it is still not developed in any tertiary sense. A bit more fruit than 5 years ago. I give it another 5 years…

Holding up completely since my note from 2016 and I have re-tasted this more times with equally impressive results. Of course more mature now bit still with a nice grip and freshness. Sorry that I have one bottle left.

Holding up well and disguising its 15% alcohol very well. Good fruit and still some tannins - excellent with red meat. Good value.

Past its prime but still okay. Now lighter than before and lost some fruit. Tertiary notes are not there yet.

This is best white Burgundy 2008 I have had and this also includes a number of Grand Crus.

The texture is oily and silky. The wine - cellared in a cool Cellar - needed time to open up and decanting brought forward a very balanced Wine. Superb acidity and very clean. Parallel with the Citrus there is the typical Meursault fattiness.

Powerful and excellent wine for this level. Tons of fruit built on a robust skeleton of balanced body of medium weight with high intensity.

3/12/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Even better than the 2016 - round big and in perfect balance.

3/9/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Powerful but absolutely balanced rosso of the best quality. Excellent grip and ideal as food companion.

3/23/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Needs time to develop so it is beneficial to decanter it if drinking it now.

Initially quite sweet and with time more PM-like with chalky notes.
A bit short in the end.

From MG. I have had this before and this time it was a bit disappointing. Dark colour compared to other bottles and the raciness was less apparent than tasted earlier. Probably due to bottle variation because there was no sign of being over the top.

3/16/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

From MG. Very good - powerful yes but in good balance and ready to drink now.

From MG - One of the successful wines in the 2015 vintage. A clean and balanced wine which documents that Tessier also in 2015 has managed to produce a wine which is cool clinate and very enjoyable.

3/16/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

From MG - clean and really good example of NSG.
Good fruit and very much Pacalet which means no tannins. Light and elegant NSG.

Impressive - no real trace of age. Very creamy and lively wine with good acidity. Excellent.

Really intense, crispy and clean champagne with loads of layers. Good focus dominated by citrus. Medium weight. Highly enjoyable.

Light and transparent colour. Fruity and with pleasant tannins making this wine aperfect companion to Italian food.

This was length better than earlier bottles. Really good - fine balance. Not oxidised and keeping up well.

Delicate flavours which are pleasant. Lacking a bit of depth but is still enjoyable.

A massive acid attack is waiting you. Tight and young this wine gradually opens up and reveals subtle and delicate notes. There is an abundance of flavours of citrus, sweetness, apples and things to be developed.
Obviously more cellartime will reward the patient.

3/24/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Very sweet reminding of a German Spätburgunder.
The colour was more purple than red and obvious that no filtrering has been done.
After some time more focused with nice fruity flavours. The last sip was a bit too warm and the marmeladelike note reappeared.
Enjoyable everydaywine for early drinking and at a low temperature. Under conditions a very nice wine.

3/24/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Still Young since the initial feel is polished tannins - could easily do with 5-10 more years cellaring.
Very balanced and really good depth with plenty of fruit waiting to develop further.
Enjoyable now but can be cellared more as mentioned.

3/24/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Initially good but mainstream Chianti. After One hour it ipened up and became complex and with excellent depth. Good balance, good acidity but mature and really nice.
Medium body and nice fruit left.
Overall very enjoyable.

3/16/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

From MG. Well kept in this warm vintage - no marmelade or cooked flavours here. Dark tones and reasonable amount of fruit. Good structure and length.

3/16/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

From MG. Textbook Burgundy with exactly The right balance between sweetness and acidity. Loads of red berries, good structure, medium weight, good length.

Excellent.

3/2/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

No trace of the warmth in 2003 - the wine is in balance and has no trace of cooking or marmelade.

This rather stringent is however still unusual since it is dominated by light red berries together with a quite distinct fleshiness and meaty flavours.

Very interesting.

1/7/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

A great wine and a testament to that 2004 is undervalued or misunderstoid.

This was ethereal, airy and on a completely surprising level for this cuvee.

Perfect combination of fleshiness, sweetness and complexity making this irreelt enjoyable.

3/10/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

The discussion point was if the slight whiff was Cork or just a feature of the 2004 vintage.
In my mind there was no doubt - there was a very slight hint of cork which distracted the nose but did not affect the taste.
Compared to the earlier bottle tried the was more Down to earth - a good solid wine with a good robust body and very good sweetness.

3/10/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

More Mature than expected - a bit disappointing although it was still nice.

Good structure but very developed notes on the palate - and with a hint of oxidation.

3/10/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Very reserved and only opening up after one hour.
LEAN and clean - needs a bit more rime.

3/10/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Very interesting and delightful. Excellent structure.
Still Young with primary aroma and layers of acetone which will be develop into very complex notes.
Still very enjoyable now but can also be cellared for another 5-10 years.

Very interesting. Fine example of a sekt made on Riesling and it does really express the Riesling character. Steely and exteemely well-suites to oysters and shellfish. Great wine.

3/10/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Smooth polished and with a lot of fruit and power well hidden away. It will be excellent but only after extended cellaring. Probably 20 years.
It will be interesting to see how it will develop.

3/10/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Complex with a number of different interesting notes.

Excellent depth and length - lots of Dark berries and fruit.
A great wine in waiting and will be better in 10-15 years.

3/10/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

An infant and not yet developed at all. Difficult to know where it will be going - there is a lot of depth and underlying power but it is hidden very well now.

3/10/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Very clean and to the point - good fruit and length.
Will develop nicely but is drinkable already now.

2/17/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Very balanced - clear colour and no trace of its almost 10 years. Good sweetness and very smooth but not jammy in any way. I would say it is at its peak now. Enjoyable.

1/26/2019 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Very good and long acidity with a hint of oxidation which is adding to the complexity of the wine.
Underlying power which may develop with time.
Notes of citrus - very drinkable now but can be cellared for years.

Delicious round and very harmonious wine which delivers sheer delight. You can feel it is from a warm vintage but there is no hint of jamminess. Very well made.
Red berries, very good structure.

12/9/2018 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

Very dry with some green notes.
Definitely a wine to go with food.
On its own it is very true to the 2002-vintage but definitely at the upoer end.

12/9/2018 - Bourgognefreak Likes this wine:

I liked it a lot but others were more sceptical.

A very dry wine which did mot release a lot initially.

Very good structure and after some time did it start to open and display some delicate fruit.
