Monday, July 1, 2019 - BBQ & Wines (Oegstgeest, NL): Beige label without ID code, V751 letter code on the cork, which means disgorged sept/oct 2007. This wine was richly vinous and expressive, supremely harmonious with gingerbread, hazelnut, brioche and more mature citrus complexity.

But since no vintage was made, nor any Clos Mesnil or Ambonnay - so the best fruit from these made it into the GC as well as a record high amount of reserves (60%?).

the 159eme is 2003 based and would probably have cork code v10xx (for regular size bottles).
