  I as greatly disappointed with this wine, particularly in light of the price point. I thought it was devoid of any character. I have had few opportunities to drink Premier Cru class Chardonnays, but all the others were magnificent.

  A Holiday Weekend BBQ (or "How I milked my birthday an extra few days") (Rancho de Los Olivos): A big upgrade from the other bottle I tried from the case sometime ago. Served as we sat for dinner, and it was hard to turn to the reds even with my grilled steak. Lovely to gaze at: straw, sun and shimmer. Honeysuckle and citrus on the nose. Lighter in style but still quite lush, with lovely minerality and all of the classic Puligny elements of green apple, citrus and stone.

  Lovely to gaze at: straw, sun and shimmer, but it goes a bit downhill from those admittedly high expectations. The nose offers little at first, but gives up a hint of honeysuckle sweetness and citrus after some time in the glass. The wine leaves me less than elated at this stage, perhaps needs more time in the bottle but I am cautious given Latour's lighter style but then again the wine's minerality bodes well in this regard. I cannot complain that the classic Puligny elements of green apple, citrus and stone are not present, but there's no "wow" factor with this wine, at least thus far. It lacks lushness and depth, to my palate.

  First thing I noticed was oak on the nose. Followed by hints of tropical fruits, and to an even lesser extent mineral. Palate was oaky, slight green fruit (apple/pear); and a rather strong, overpowering finish.
