Popped, poured, consumed over next hour. This developed well. She’d it’s baby fat, absorbed the oak. Very satisfying warm vintage white Burg from Rully.

2009 White Burgs at the Magnum Society (Wellington, New Zealand): Tasted blind at a 2009 White Burgundies tasting. Clean, bright fruit on the bouquet. Aromas of honeysuckle, citrus, peach, with some minerality and a little oak. The next night the bouquet have moved more to honey and tropical fruit, particularly pineapple. Racy entry, quite intense, with good acid spine and balance. Good fruit weight on mid palate, with viscosity, good texture and reasonable length. Quite New Worldish expression. Other tasters found this wine a little too developed, broad or flabby, with which I did not agree. However, this wine, by comparison with others in the line up, lacked some structure and complexity. A well made wine but a little too straightforward. Also, a little too much heat on the back palate (but 13% alcohol on label). 89.
