Nothing wrong with it, just tasted like a decent cooler climate chard - austere tropical fruits, peaches and mineral-lite with some not unpleasant residual creamy and vanilla from the treatment. Had two glasses enjoying the evening on the porch, but had no desire for any more nor regret to dump the rest.

11/1/2005 (link)(l'Arlot Nuits St.Georges Blanc Clos de l'Arlot) From a steep section of 37 year-old vines in the Clos, mixed with 5% Pinot Gris also from the Clos. High-toned, sweet floral esters over a base of passion-fruit. Apparently this exotic aspect is very typical for the cuvée, taking 5-6 years to resemble a more typical white burgundy. Good mouthfeel, seems relatively low acidity but Olivier comments that it is 'average' and that the exotic aspects and richness are probably hiding it a little. An interesting extra dimension of flavour on the mid-palate, melting into a very interesting medium-length finish. Slowly takes on a more honeyed aspect in the glass. Seriously interesting, a Nuits version of Meursault Gouttes d'Or perhaps. Regarding longevity the domaine always assumed it was better to drink this wine on the younger side, but apparently wines from the late 80's are very nice still.
