  July 1, 2023 - Fitzgerald (Rotterdam, Netherlands): Admittedly I had some skepticism regarding the vintage, but producer tends to trump that, and did in this case. Sure, it's a far more opulent, big, and rounded expression of this wine, but you don't really pick up signs of rot or imbalance here. The nose shows some lemon cream, and on the palate, there is a heavier texture with some oiliness from all the intensity. Very concentrated, but time allowed the acidity here to really tighten everything up.

  January 22, 2023 - Gorgeous. A perfect bottle. Fresh and lively, rich and heady, layered and enticing aromatics that blended stone fruit, pure wet limestone, and some sort of white floral scents - acacia? A ton happening on the nose, and it really demands attention because there are layers to the nose and it is a dynamic thing. The palate is gorgeous too, with great impact, balance, complexity, and real density through the midpalate to the finish. It took a over two hours open in the glass for this to begin to fade aromatically. This bottle was an advertisement for the greatness of this producer. A wonderful wine in a difficult vintage.

  August 19, 2022 - Well over the top. Aromas dominated by honey and ripe yellow fruits. But the freshness is gone. Still a pleasure to drink, though.

  January 16, 2021 - FWSG Puligny Grand Cru vs Meursault Genevrieres tasting. Semi-blind. Double samples. Tasted in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, gold colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of rich stony minerality, honey, apricot, ripe peach, and salty saline wet stones minerals with more air. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, rounded high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of golden apples, ripe peaches, apricot, honey, rich wet stones minerality. Medium+ finish stretching out a little more with more air.
  Very good quality. Needed more air to show fully. Yes Grand Cru quality for me. Though I wouldn't want to age this further. As good as it gets already in my opinion.
