  Started with some barnyard and opened up into a very interesting wine with complexity. Lemon, slate, even some mushroom? Acidity still in evidence. Primary fruit has faded but a great wine today.

  Last bottle for me. Cork in great shape, nose with lemon curd, poached apple/pear, slightly oxidative, palate is the same with good acidity, a bit one dimensional and lacking the minerality to bring it up a notch but very good none the less. Paired with Dungeness Crab and did very well throughout dinner.

  Slightly oxidized. Disappointed because really interesting except for the slightly off taste.

  Had this blind with a number of other white burgundies in the summer of 2019. It was smooth and balanced and (as was revealed) a bit older, but certainly still alive and kicking. Overall, however, a little disappointing given the price.
  
  From that blind tasting, below were my rankings (and the group's rankings):
  
  1 (2) 2012 Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Clos de la Chateniere
  2 (3) 2016 Domaine Bernard Millot Puligny-Montrachet Les Corvées des Vignes
  3 (1) 2017 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin Le Banc
  4 (4) 2015 Maison Harbour Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru en Remilly
  5 (7) 1999 Maison Roche de Bellene Meursault 1er Cru Charmes Collection Bellenum
  6 (5) 2013 Rapet Père et Fils Corton-Charlemagne
  7 (6) 2017 Walter Scott Chardonnay X-Novo Vineyard

  91-92 Again nose seemed a touch muted, took a little time to come out. Decent acidity, nicely aged, similar to bottle opened a few years back. Had next to a 12' Ente Bourgone which may have overshadowed this a bit. Still a very enjoyable, well aged, white burg.
