It took 30 minutes to open up in a big wine glass.
On the nose, it gives off strawberries, red fruits, mixed berries and forest floor. on the palate, it has restrained red fruit notes, with tart strawberries and berries notes. With air, it has brown sugar / coke like notes and is noticeably sweet. Lots of depth and good length.

On the nose, it has complex notes of sesame, hazelnut, along with the usual notes of puligny montrachet.
On the palate, it has wonderfully harmonised notes of honey, nuts, sesame, white flowers and the lot. It doesn't have the grand cru length or intensity, the roasted sesame notes of Leflaive's BMs, the pronounced floral notes of les pucelles, nor the marked minerality of CM, but it has almost all other flavours you would expect of a top puligny montrachet.
Sensational stuff.

Very cloudy on appearance, which is expected of an old wine.
On nose, it has waves of dark fruits, rose petals and forest floor. On the palate, it is simply phenomenal. It is obviously sweet, but not sweetened. The mixed berries and rose petal notes keep on reverberating, and are nicely balanced by the vibrant underlying acidity. The fruits / sweetness combo is very lush but without being over-the-top. For the first 2-3 hours, there is almost everything I could ask for but nothing is in excess. The fruits only starts to recede thereafter.
