  January 9, 2019 - NDG: 9/1/19 dinner with Magnums of 9 to celebrate the start of 2019 (Imperial Treasure Teochew, Ion): Enjoyable. A bit of slow start, coming across a bit tired at first, even in magnum, but this grew with time. It had a nice bouquet of ripe apples, a touch of honey, some nuttiness, and just a hint of spice. A nice old Burg nose. The palate was a bit diffused initially, but grew into a lovely package, with delicious flavours of bruised apple and honey, some toffee on the mid palate, all leading into a nice, spicy, nutty finish. From a magnum, this was lovely mature stuff, soft, round and ready, and still really enjoyable. Drink now though.

  mouth - juicy, green apple, caramel, still very much alive

  May 8, 2010 - Bottle, fill and cork all excellent. Faux folded, aged label not like today's. This is a lovely old Puligny perhaps on the decline, but oh how graceful. Bright, initially yellow changing to gold, but no oxidation just venerable gilt. This wine has excellent acidity preserving its orchard, blossom character. If we only kept all our white burgs long enough.. (ie Ampeau). This is old style and was great with wild salmon. No oak spoiling the show. Waving good bye after 2 hours, but what a great time it was.
