  All 3 2014 white burgs were effected by oak or something that gave them a reductive sweet taste which was unpleasant and I threw out the flight

  White orchard fruit, citrus (incl. orange peel), rich and with a superlative length. No need to keep it any longer (the color is a profoundly yellow and there is a slight oxidation).

  Nice medium gold with slight green reflections. On the nose upon opening, rather timid menthol/aniseed, white fruit, flowers. On the palate, the attack is frank, fruity, sweet-like, lifted with a good acidity, ethereal with a very very good length of the floral and fruit aromas with added minerality. Touch of oak and buttery popcorn as well.
  
  A sip is like inhaling a light but wonderful perfume. This has a nice balance and ultimately, I prefer it to the heavier (but still excellent Morgeot) and to the (also excellent) more tensile and edgy Caillerets, all from the same producer and vintage. Just a wonderful balance!
  
  No rush to drink. I will likely have my next one within three years in 2027 or so. 93

  Stored in a wine-cooler at 13 degrees Celsius since 2016. Color: golden yellow. Modest, soft nose. In the taste peach, a nice dose of luxourious oak, mint in the finish. Soft, deep and complex. I was brought to open this bottle by the TN's that this wine would be tired already. It doesn't show the ernergy it probably had in its youth, but I would not call this bottle tired. It is mature, delicate and easy drinking. A beautiful, absolutely delicious wine, real class! Still glad I am drinking it now, because I think it might loose quality with further keeping. 94.

  Tired bottle. Likely just a bad cork.
