Reductive nose with citrus, flint, lemon and minerals. It had wonderful acidity on the palate alongside precise fruit. Lacking the fatness of the terroir but undoubtedly a very clean and pure Meursault. Loved the flintiness of the wine. 92-93

Nose: pineapple, hint of honey, popcorn, caramel, banana, yogurt Notes: This is still very light in color and in perfect condition with a long and lingering aftertaste. This wine is a little on the sweet side which was quite a surprise for me as I never thought this maker will give you sweet notes. Quite full bodied in nature it feels like there's plenty of life ahead of this wine and I think it can benefit from another 5-8 years or cellaring. Rating: 91+ Drink: 2030+

Pausing for the Cause 2022 (Part 2) (Chicago, IL): A little disappointing next to the 2009, this feels very lean and lacking in weight and concentration. Lots of acidity and a little bit of green, all the while carrying quite a bit of oak and the usual PYCM reduction. A good effort in a tough vintage.

This was also really good out of a stellar line up; Green color! lots of redux, but a mature kind of aspect with mint cilantro, bright, youthful. Well-balanced and very tasty. Guessed 2014. DD at Crustacean.

With oysters then monkfish and scallops in Plockton. Give it time after opening to allow depth to emerge and then it truly sings. Nicely evolved, years ahead of it.
