  Medium yellow color. Good nose of tropical fruits, some citrus and some lemon peel. On the palate this was clearly from a warm vintage but very good. Some lees, lemons, good acidity and a roundness to the wine.

  Domaine Roulot Dinner (Nico Osteria - Chicago, IL): If drank alone, this would have been great. We drank this alongside the 2001 and 2000 Charmes. Both of those wines were far better than this and it suffered as a result. By itself, this had a plush, ripe, round nose...noticeably more tropical than the others. The palate was really nice, with some tangerine, lemon, and flint. The flavors were a bit simplistic and, ultimately, this came across (again...having the context of its flight-mates) as rather one-noted.

  Dinner at Mike and Cathy's place (Wellington, New Zealand): Colour light gold, showing some evolution. Initially on the nose, spice, lemon and brioche, with some vanilla oak. Once the bouquet fully opens it is packed full of beautiful, bright fruit, but with elegance. In the mouth, the good body on this wine has Thierry straight away suggesting Meursault. Pure, gorgeous sweetness, particularly on entry. Still fairly primary, with a big fruit structure, but not tropical fruit flavours, quite elegant. Luscious volume, with layers of flavour including spice, zesty citrus, rock melon, almonds and croissant. Lovely oily texture. Round and generous, with no hint of oxidation, lower acid but beautiful phenolics and great precision and focus. There is oak here but it’s in proportion, well integrated. Grand Cru fruit weight, it finishes clean and balanced. This wine could stand up to bigger food eg a chicken dish. Drink now or in the next 6-8 years. My WOTN.

  Burgundy Dinner at Mike's (Wellington): Lemon yellow. Nicely intense nose of melons, apricots and light oakiness. On palate, an abundance of sweet fruit and minerality, good acidity, fairly concentrated, with excellent length and complexity. Great on its own and stunning with mushroom and truffle soup.
