Smelled of almond croissant, meringue, light caramel, sweet cream, clover, candied lemons and jasmine tea. Similar, delicious flavors; again, the almond croissant, with a definite sweetness of fruit/oak. Superb concentration, complex oak tannins and mouthfeel, focus, length, and an oily, forever finish added to the case of flavors to create something very, very fine. Time in glass yielded increased density of flavor, additional aromatic notes, and more pleasure. Absolutely delicious.

Lovely mid gold, hint of green. Nose of citrus and acacia with a whiff of dry sherry. Absolutely lovely older Puligny. Still lemon and lime, honey, and white flowers but also more complexity. Hazelnut oiliness, fruit stones and "good" oxidation, like a fine amontillado. Maybe not so buttery as early on but still a fine richness.Stunning length and good acidity. Not a hint of POX here and Colin-Deleger certainly got caught up in this later on. It may be a lottery these days but there are still some winning tickets!

Slightly over its peak. Still very enjoyable. Drink the next few years.
