  This is tasting great right now. Lovely richness on the palate that's perfectly balanced with clean fruit and acidity. Soft, pliable finish. White peach, white flowers, and some light spice.

  Had on Celebrity Equinox USD54. Showed well with light yellow and soft white floral butter aromatics. Palate was rich and fruit still ample and the acidity and mineral flavours completing a good 10 second finish.

  Delicious. Seems a tad ripe in the mid palate but then the acidity kicks in for a vibrant finish. Lovely balance, well-made, and great quality for its price.

  Straw yellow. Plain-spun honey toast buttercup goodness, a little lacking in power but this gave it a muted elegance. Tasted in flat base Riedels, which always makes me suspect its in contact with table surfaces too much to be an objective tasting.

  Tasting of Drouhin’s 2011 – Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet.
  Opened on day 1, tasted and refrigerated overnight. All of them showed much better on the 2nd day, so notes are from that day.
  ’11 Meursault – comes fragrant with lovely flowery and candy-like perfume, medium weighted very fresh and delicious. Not as complex as Puligny-Montrachet but very joyful wine – 92p
  ’11 Chassagne-Montrachet – in a more restrained mode, delicate nutty (almond), mineral mouth feel, some herbal action as well all this is tuned with chiseled acidity. Excellent work with the oak – serves just as back up. Elegant wine with a lot of charm. – 92p
  ’11 Puligny-Montrachet – it is more in your face than the other ones. Rich and powerful with more evident oak treatment than the other wines (winery states for all of these wines 20-25% of new oak).Full bodied with aromas of stone fruits, good acidity and excellent balance, clearly some +10y ahead. – 93p
