(Bouchard Père et Fils Meursault Les Genevrières) Golden. The nose is understated, sweet with faint vanilla but quite sophisticated, some depth too. The palate is nicely fresh also very understated too. The acidity is good and there seems to be good concentration - but of what? - what's missing is a little flavour. Actually there's suddenly a bit of a burst on the mid-palate and reasonable and quite flavourful length too. So, a surprisingly mineral Genevrières - I normally think of it as more sumptuous - quite nice, and worth buying if you get a good price.

Still alive and kicking. Not as oxidized as expected/feared. Nose and palate smooth and organic with floral decayed caramel flavours. Charming and mysterious and evocative of days-gone-by.
Basically, this is exactly like what you would imagine a twenty year old chardonnay would taste like.
[Please note: Some people at the table absolutely hated it, so this is not a wine for all palates.]
