December 24, 2018 - Well rarely have I rated a wine so differently as this one. Ninety points last year, 94 this year. Assuming consistency of palate, drinking conditions and so on (pretty wild assumptions), this suggests that a year's ageing can make a major difference. The wine has hugely opened up, with a veritable panoply of lofty aromas: lemons (the dominant note I would say), fresh cream, vanilla, coconut - it's almost as if the oak has been dormant until now. The flavours from ageing are also emerging - softer, more silky sensations, and nice nutty notes as well. But the zesty acidity is that ensures this wine's splendid pedigree: it holds everything together with great elegance and refinement. Absolutely superb - well in its prime now, should be drinking splendidly for another five years. Both serious and delightful - a rare combination.

December 25, 2017 - Lovely balance of vanilla fudge and baked apple fruit, overlaid by a strong seam of lemony acidity. Quite long. Proper, elegant Pouilly.

December 7, 2017 - The second of six wines drunk on my fiftieth birthday. Comparatively, the least impressive wine of the evening, although many guests less familiar with white Burgundy thought it was fabulous. It's quite pale, and exudes aromas more of lemons and wet stones than of cream, butter and vanilla, which is more what you'd expect. It's not big - it's actually quite light and modest, but it's gracefully balanced, with a lovely sweet spot in the middle of fruit and even a touch of spice (nutmeg, perhaps?), and an assertive acidity. Decent Pouilly-Fuissé with probably another five years of enjoyable life left in it, by which time, hopefully, it will have developed some tertiary characteristics and more complexity.
