Looking at other reviews, I really struck lucky with this bottle with the wine still in a perfect spot in spite of its age. The colour was pristine with no signs of discolouration. Likewise the palate was excellent with crisp flavours of lemon, peach and mango. The finish is a little sharp towards the end, but is well balanced and lengthy. I purchased this recently from a highly reputable source, and it obviously had impeccable provenance, and I would not hesitate to recommend similarly well stored wines. 93+

My experience was exactly the same as UTPK reported. I had one previous bottle, maybe a year ago, that was oxidised so expectations were low. But this sample had all the complexity and flavour that you expect in a mature top-tier Puligny-Montrachet. Just not the acidity. Lovely wine.

At Sommellier. Lovely surprise as there was no heat or flabbiness to this wine. Open and mature aromas of butter, lemon, some honey and a trace of pineneedles. Good balance but obviously not as much acidity as one os used to in Pucelles. Good drink!

Yellow wax top. Soft creamy but just a little abrupt on the finish!

Masterclass. Really, really sweet. On edge of overbearingly so, probably bit over.
