Drinking quite well with no hint of premox. Broad and creamy with floral and mineral notes. Some oak still discernible. Not as precise as some CVS but a pleasant drinking experience and I look forward to the next bottle.

Decanted for an hour. Lots of warm notes, hint of toffee and caramel on the full nose. Lots of body and weight on the palate. A touch of oak still lingers, but mostly integrated. A great drink, but clearly outclassed today by the PYCM.

Toffee, caramel, baked apple, bruised apple, pear & other white orchard fruits on the nose. Touch of florals. Very nice. Full-bodied, with med acid & a mineral spine working to balance the broadly-textured body.

Rich nose with a lot of intensity, apples, a little baking spice, lavender, and herbs de provence -- there's a ton going on here. The palate has a ton of minerality, and much complexity. The individual notes aren't quite in focus yet, but this wine is clearly outstanding.

I 2015-årgangen har vinen er dypere gyllen gul farge. På nesen er vinen rik og intens, den kommer bort til deg som en bilselger fra Bergen med høy selvtillit og gir mye av seg selv med herlige frukter med lett moden sitrusfrukt, smør, et fiffig mineralsk preg og noe gule blomster.
På paletten er vinen maskulint fyldig, nesten fet og brer seg herlig ut med frisk frukt som vokser godt. Her er det gule epler, sitroner, limeskall, nesten noe jordlig steinete preg, toast og lett brent treverk. Syren sliter litt med å holde følgen med bergenseren, men greier jobben greit til slutt. Hva er det med store hus, Corton og 2015? De leverer jo helt strålende! www.botti.no

Aroma: gardenia, apple blossom, honeysuckle, vanilla. Palate: oily, juicy, floral and rich but with lip-smacking acidity and a good core of minerals. Very complex and well balanced. Masterful.

Jasper Morris called this one perfectly - exotic, mango.

Fresh and vibrant yet accessible. Powerful white peach fruit is tinged with aniseed. It is unctuous with good line and underlying structure.

Creamy and big. Enjoyable now. Lacking abit in complexity and probably focus I think.

K&L Wines of Burgundy Tasting (K&L Wines, Redwood City, CA): Pears, minerals, toast and a hint of tarragon. Sweet pears on the palate, buttery, with a surprising spicy finish.

La Paulée de SF Grand Tasting (Fairmont Hotel, SF CA): Big nose with stony, mineral-driven orchard fruits. Palate is big, rich and creamy. Dense and long. Stays fresh, but acids aren't prominent. 92-93+

Henriot 2015 Burgundy Tasting (City Winery Chicago): Brief note, trade tasting. Not much in the way of details, but very good concentration and a finish that lacks the complexity and length of the 2014.
