January 21, 2019 - Bright yellow, lovely nose of yellow fruit and some green, backed by citrus. It's nicely ripe and the acidity seems to be mellowing, with some extract and minerality on the finish. All in all pretty classic Puligny and at 11 years old, ageing beautifully (hurrah!). Very good.

December 4, 2015 - Quite a full straw to light gold. A rich custard apple nose. Ripe and quite viscous on the attack, impressive weight. That custard apple feeling persistent on the attack before dipping to a cleaner and more mineral middle and then re-emerging on the finish. Decent but a bit uninspiring. Lacks complexity. Started off being a bit all upfront, but with air it has lengthened and regained balance through its length. ***

October 21, 2015 - This has a nose of yellow tropical fruits of peaches, lemon citrus, white and yellow floral with exotic spice. Nice splash of acidity and discreet wooden oak that fills the palate with fresh citrus fruits, lime stones and minerality. Good balance of intensity, weight and tension while retaining elegance and class.

January 16, 2015 - Pale/medium straw. Restrained nose, ripe pear, vanilla, touch of soil and smoke. Medium bodied, composed, elegant, smooth mouthfeel, creamy pear fruit, touch of soil, bright acidity carries an excellent length finish. Classy and interesting if not overly exciting.
