Complex aromatics of smoky mineral, aniseed spice, preserved lemon and white peach. Dense and rich, but also linear. Has a steely backbone and great detail. Great drive and length. Seriously good now but oh so youthful.

Absolutely brilliant. A glowing, reductive, flashy, wine. Impressive energy with great weight and development. This only improved and expanded over a few hours. Rich, dense, expansive palate with huge acid behind the rich ripe yellow fruit. Comparable to top Bâtard, these bottles were stunning. An oily texture. Cannot believe the power and drive here. Long electrifying finish. Wow, was not expecting that. Two bottles off the list!

Très droit, c’est fin et frais, délicieux, léger manque de chair autour de l’os à l’aveugle mais on comprend à l’ouverture avec le cépage, mais très beau style et belle bouteille quand même. 90-91
Gorgeous bottle, tasted blind, still young in colour and on the palate.

Monday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Bottle no. 960 of 15927. Served double blind. Definitely a Burgundian sensibility to it, but I was working based on the assumption that this was chardonnay. The nose was somewhat neutral, and despite a slightly waxy palate, this had some pleasant acidity to balance out that waxy texture. The trouble I had was placing the commune -- just couldn't really figure out where this belonged. Maybe recognizing that this was aligoté would have made this easier.

Pronounced nose intensity with notes of fresh herb, green bell pepper, white flowers, apple. Medium+ acidity and medium finish.
