From memory, pale grayish gold, lemon meringue nose, fairly rich non-oxidative palate of creamy, lightly-oaked chardonnay, long finish with a clean tangy pucker. Enjoyed with sautéed sea bass.

Reading my note on the 2007 - this is almost identical - mineral and complex, yet elegant and easy to understand. It is more like a Chablis than the typical oxidative Jura white. Held in fantastically in the fridge over four nights - surely will be better with time.

Another excellent Jura experience. Interesting nose with some loamy notes. Tiny flush of oxidation, just enough to be interesting. Lemon, lime, green apple. Some stony backbone, medium mid-palate and nice long finish. Tighter and tarter than the 2007 Domaine Julien Labet Côtes du Jura Les Varrons that we loved, but very enjoyable in a different way. Went well with Ei's chicken picata.

Much as before, medium, 18k gold, slight Jura tang with intense-for-chardonnay vinosity, best not too cold.

Thought this one was not as good as the bottle 16 months ago. More citrus flavors this time and more acid. I think the time to drink is now.
