Not oxidized as is mentioned in several notes, and given the wine's age I am impressed it has held up so well as there is fruit and acid - but the oak renders this wine revolting and undrinkable by this Burgunian fan....

Deep golden, little nose, some acid left, caramel, oak, a bit of lemon, but a slight sourness as well, but not unpleasant; just past prime; held up well for $30

This bottle was terrific. Deep golden color, but not a hint of oxidized notes on either the nose or palate. Very fresh, with nice cleansing acidity. Flavors of caramel, apple, and pears.

Last bottle. Would have guessed it a lesser Sauzet Puligny with 20+ years age. Oak has receded somewhat, and despite a degree of maderization, good clean fruit lingers on the midpalate. Far from a perfect bottle; perhaps there were none in this vintage. Nothing left to wait for.

A bit oxidized but some was left of a very good chardonnay.
