Very dark color, but surprisingly not really oxidized. Quite sweet, light, very non-Corton. More like a lighter Montagny or Rully. Strange showing. B-/C+

PopnPour, tasted over 3 hrs, bottle pristine, cork disintegrated -translucent medium gold -reserved, a little lemon cream, some oak -surprisingly quite fresh with med acidity, good minerality, residual green apple fruit, slight mustiness may be a bit of TCA, not as complex as expected (muted by TCA?), touch of oak, decent length -very nice despite being mildly corked, well-stored unaffected bottles probably have a lot of life left

Clearly a yin/yang wine - you either hate it or love it... I am in the hate it category. It showed roasted meat (for a white wine?) nose, minerally on the palate. This is sound without being interesting, not much fruit. Caramel color, this has some weight but not the intensity or the love you expect - despite the firm acidity.

yellow gold. Honey, pear, nuts. Rich with just enough acidity.
