March 6, 2021 - Looking at other reviews, I really struck lucky with this bottle with the wine still in a perfect spot in spite of its age. The colour was pristine with no signs of discolouration. Likewise the palate was excellent with crisp flavours of lemon, peach and mango. The finish is a little sharp towards the end, but is well balanced and lengthy. I purchased this recently from a highly reputable source, and it obviously had impeccable provenance, and I would not hesitate to recommend similarly well stored wines. 93+

December 10, 2015 - My experience was exactly the same as UTPK reported. I had one previous bottle, maybe a year ago, that was oxidised so expectations were low. But this sample had all the complexity and flavour that you expect in a mature top-tier Puligny-Montrachet. Just not the acidity. Lovely wine.
