  It was so backwards the last time I tried it this time I let it breathe in the open decanter for almost an hour. That proved to be a good move since it dramatically opened and deepened to the extent it seemed fully mature. It showed very big for Meursault Perrières, viscous, buttery, yellow fruity. Delicious. Yet there was a slight letdown because the acidity did not seem quite up to the task to buffer the big fruit. Therefore I am concerned about the future but I can sure enjoy it now.

  (Not a) birthday dinner (Hinsdale, IL): Damn, this is so good. It's a different style from the oxidative, rich wines of yore (which of course poxed like no other), but it just works so well here. It's still old-school in that the wines are not overly reduced, and there is definite fatness on the palate here, but for me the most stunning part of this wine is the way the finish just lingers on the palate, for minutes at a time. Such an intense, potent example of the way chardonnay ought to be. Stunning.

  Beautiful nose of flint, chalk, lemon zest, toasted almonds with a kiss of oak and honey at the back.
  
  Punchy but elegant palate in the yellow fruit register. Spherical texture with fine beaded acidity and a hint of salinity. A gorgeous wine that is still very tight. This has sooooo much in the tank with immense upside, but it was not the showstopper that the 2014 Lafon Charmes was which I enjoyed 6 months ago. I would hold these for another 3 - 5 years. 94 today, but 96+ potential.

  Served blind, this was the most dense and intense of the flight. Quite remarkable given there were two grand cru in the flight including a PYCM Montrachet. The midpalate is a monster, so palate staining. Loooooong finish. I hope that one day I get to try a fully mature bottle of this, but they may never exist because the wine is so delicious today who can resist pulling the cork?
