I think these are getting sweeter? Just a couple bottles left from a case, and we are getting farther away from Perrieres, and closer to Aubert? Kind of kidding, but kind of not. Maybe it's all that energy charged OR Chard I've been drinkin of late. Anyway...this is still top notch Meursault here! Sappy orchard fruits, with a drizzle of honey and sprinkled sea salt...SUCH pretty lime/white flower blossom florals...chalky crushed limestone...little more toasted marshmallow...precise and beaming with fresh juiced citrus...dry extract...very broad and mouth filling...even a little oily viscosity. I mean this wine is LOADED with flavor and Meursault-ness...I just wish it had a tad bit more Perrieres and less sweetness...but nitpicking I guess. Would love to try this one in 20 more years!

Last bottle of three purchased last year...ALL have been brilliantly bright and shiny gold with green...little reduction funk, crunchy minerals and salty dry extract...sea air...tart and creamy fruit...really drinks CHABLIS! Love it!

PnP...nice and LONG DIAM 30...13% happy juice...this is very bright and zippy right out the gate...summer crisp peach and apple fruits...little wafts of reduction smoke, white flowers, lemon zest...the fruit is SO pure and crystalline...there is a salty crushed minerality that is very pleasing...lick of salt before a lemon squeeze...really goes long and deep, then a puckering dryness and white pepper spice slaps you in the face finish...WOW...lot of energy and tastiness in this wine...should drink well for 10+, but mine won't last that long!

You seem to drink a lot of the Cali cabs I like especially WH Lane of which I was a member for a while. I really liked the 2001, which stayed great for so many years. Envious of your older bottles! Heading to Bordeaux soon for the 1st time. Getting to some great 100 pt Chateaus with a Napa winemaker. Friend up if you like...cheers! Mark
