Slightly oxidized but quite enjoyable. Very nuanced nose of chestnut, hazelnut, white flower, citrus, vanilla, cinnamon and peach. Reasonably fresh, straight on the palate with a multitude of depth; the bone of this wine is really quite good despite this particular showing. 95

Zachys La Paulée Auction, Day Two (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Served slightly too warm (~60F). Late summer flowers with mature stone fruit with faint tropical hints. Rich and very concentrated in a manner that gave it unctuous textures. Fully mature, but I'd consider that age appropriate for the 1995 vintage at this point. Superb length.
Nineteen vintages of DRC Montrachet: The 1995 had a gorgeous nose. Slightly less precise than a couple others in its flight, but built to deliver pleasure and it did. I really liked it.

The Eleventh Annual Stonefields Dinner (Guelph, ON, Canada): Dear me....this was amazing! From magnum. medium to deep gold in colour The nose was unreal....such power and weight. Flavours of honey, nutmeg, lemon, pineapple, peach, minerals, subtle botrytis notes and white florals. So powerful, complex and integrated. The palate was equally inspiring showing notes of lemon rind, clove, nutmeg, lime, minerals, and pure tropical fruit balanced with such beautiful acid. Wow. The finish was monumental...such length, complexity and power. Just a stunner.

DRC M 75-11. Disappointing advanced, signs of oxidation. Slightly sour, highly acidic. (937/1718)
