  February 22, 2023 - Light yellow with green tint. Toasted barrel, walnut, citrus, butter. Fresh acidity and fruits, which tasted like a youngster. Well-balanced and good tension on the palate. Very long finish. Needed 3 hours to fully open.

  April 28, 2022 - Burned tyre, potently and disturbingly malodorous, we let it sit for 30 min and the most optimistic of us pronounced it well improved but Sensitive little me still couldn’t get past the mercaptans which I regard as a flaw. If I were in a restaurant I would have sent it back. Buyer beware.

  July 16, 2019 - Be a good while before I try another bottle of this. Another 2014 that has gone into an ungenerous acidic shell. Takes me back to the 80's actually. The expert view was that the the 2014's may live for 8 years or perhaps a few years more. I'm thinking this wine will be really solid, if really well stored, in fifteen years easy.
  For those who complain that white burgundy is not what it once was with the emergence of the modern style, the rare exception may be a good number of the 2014's. Then again, I thought that of the 2008's, and they in due course evolved much quicker than I thought they would.

  January 3, 2019 - This wine is sui generis - one of a kind - in the sense of yes terroir. The stony minerality as opposed to the limestone finesse of say Meursault is really remarkably intense and pronounced. Very rich, just barely in mid life. A cookie cutter wine this is not, and it is all the better for it. The more I drink them, the more I find Dancer's wines seem to express the vineyard. More power to him.
  
  Much more succulent than your typical white burgundy, but the minerality leads to a finsih on the dry side.
