Definite signs of oxidation on the nose, fruit has all but disappeared, colour is medium gold. Not completely gone on the palate but not much to recomend it.

Consistent notes with my last bottle, not a surprise given that I drank that one less than 30 days ago. Not oxidized, and certainly no buttered popcorn. However, I lowered the score a bit because it didn't sing to me quite so much.

Not sure I had the same wine as the other recent reviewers! This was delicate, with white fruit, citrus, spice, and mineral all on a light frame. Reminded me of why I love white burg.

There are things to like in this wine, but for starters it very much lacks Meursault typicity - oatmealy, anise notes dominate on the nose and the mealyness along with a dry honey note carries through on entry, but what then emerges is a nicely rich and long finish with maybe a pineapple note throughout. Color looks quite young and the wine still has an acid backbone, but I haven't a clue where it is going. Not remotely in the first rank of 2008 Meursault Perrieres, but a good drink nonetheless.

Tasted blind in a large flight of domestic and French Chards. Easily picked out as a White Burgundy, this wine showed a nice golden hue, clear, almost vibrant. A little muted on the nose, with notes of candied apple and spice. Light to medium in body, with a clean finish.

Lovely wine, especially for the price. Medium golden in the glass, this Meursault offers notes of citrus and limestone. Medium weight with nice complexity. Drinking well now, but I plan to hold my others for a copule years before revisiting.

Sunday Brown Bag Tasting: 2008 Meursault Les Perrières (Neil's): Aromas of almond, apple and beeswax/honeycomb. Good texture and weight on the palate. Apple and mineral flavors with a lovely wet stone/mineral quality on the finish. Well balanced with good underlying acidity.
My #7, Domino's #3. Group #5, 47 pts.

Notes of sweet honeysuckle, butterscotch and even spearmint on the nose. Beautiful concentration, lively acidity that continues to dance around on the palate through the long finish.

Extremely advanced for a 2008. I couldn't finish my glass.

Popcorn, butter, nuts. Heavy on the palate and could use some extra freshness. Full bodied that's true...
