Pale straw. Lovely nose, all salinity and oyster shell. Positive attack with good grip, chalky minerality, mineral, saline mid palate and a long finish. Excellent. ****

By chance we had a bottle of this last week too. I wasn't quite as positive as you, but thought it was drinking really nicely and what I thought was oak (but may just have been reduction) a few years back has settled down and integrated nicely. Sante !

2012 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre Chardonnay

A big bruising meursault. Citrus, oak, a bit angular. not really in balance right now. Saved a third for the next day which showed much better.

We had a 2008 the other week, which started off just like you describe - but after about an hour and a half decant it transformed into a really delightful, typical and top class Meursault vill. (albeit maybe with just a little bit more oak than I like).

2011 Domaine Bernard Gripa St. Péray Les Pins White Rhone Blend

Northern Rhone wimps — Napoléon Coste (La Trompette, London): Nicely waxy, slightly lemony nose. Mid weight. Fresh with an interesting mix of mineral and cream textures on the palate. Again, a touch of citrus and lanolin on the finish. Nose opens up nicely to show a more honeysuckle element. Lovely. Quite long too. ***1/2
