Regular dinner group (By Me @ van der Dussen): What a pity! This wine has been so beautiful, but now it is getting too old. Still concentrated and rich, but the reductive and nutty flavors have taken over. Still yellow fruits, but the wine lost its freshness. If coming from a very cold cellar this might still be ok, but if not; drink it very soon (if this bottle was exemplary). No score.
Monthly Tasting Group HWS #069; Burgundy: Puligny, Chassagne, Meursault (By RvD): Dark yellow. Creamy bouquet with tropical fruits and butter. On the palate very ripe fruits. Mango. Broad and very smooth. The oak has integrated nicely. Drinking it beside Burgundy wines this wine is less elegant and has more sweetness, but overall this certainly is beautiful wine.

Medium golden yellow color. Nose of tropical fruits, with melon & pineapple standing out, along with some pear, a bit of oak and vanilla spice. Full bodied, but well balanced with acidity - creamy with pineapple, green apple, melon & vanilla spice. Finish is particularly spicy, with hints of nutmeg. Excellent wine!

Viscous, rich. Dark color no oak.
