I was worried that this might have started a downhill slide - it is 11 years after all - but in fact it was in a perfect place. A bit of glycerin and unctuosity has started to develop, tightness receded, and good mouth feel. Perfect with black truffles :-)
Update - last bottle two months later had started to slide, soft, almost caramel notes. Not oxidized at least... All gone!

A bit tight and restrained at first, but flowered in the glass, and although never as opulent and rich as a puligny, still a nice honeyed layer on top of fine acidity.
