This wine was definitely getting a bit tired, compared to previous bottles and alongside the much fresher Olivier Leflaive Puligny Montrachet 2012. It was difficult to coax out notes on the nose, as it was quite muted, but gave hints of riper fruits, including orange rind, grapefruit and peach. On the palate, again a bit muted with similar fruits.

Third bottle of six and its not oxidised! Pale yellow with the nose of almond butter, lemon brulee and quince of a ripe year. Similar on the palate but with a refreshing, tangy finish. Day 2, more ripe year flavours emerge, including banana and under ripe pineapple. But the finish stays fresh and zesty. Good food wine. I hope the hit rate with the last three is better than how I am tracking so far......

Drinking perfectly. Good minerality, with some white summer fruits and just a hint of richness. Well balanced and not overdone
