Tasted blind. Distinctly buttery profile with tropical and floral high notes of banana and baked pear. Mineral notes of smoke, saline notes and rosehip. Later revealing matchstick and sulfur-like notes. The buttery dimension is reflected on the palate both in aromas and texture. But surprisingly this lacks somehow the acidity for ideal balance. The nose is indeed fantastic and blind this reminded me of a hot vintage Meursault.

Tasted over 2 hrs -translucent med gold -lemon white floral lanolin -med acidity, med weight with soft mouthfeel yet a certain richness with highly concentrated sappy intense lemon pith saline -this is excellent, particularly in the context of the vintage, just starting to show some maturity but no oxidation

During a 2013 vintage tasting. The conclusion was that 1er Crus are in an early drinking window, while the Grand Crus need a good 5 more years. The vintage has elevated acidity but the tannins were more polished than in 2014 which we had a few weeks back. Also the wines have compact fruit. All this makes them well suited for further cellaring. TN: Interesting nose, white flowers, citrus, but also some ripe botritis elements which I liked less. All in all a very good showing, very popular at the table tonight. 92-94

White orchard fruit (mainly apple, some pear), iodine, seashells, some botrytis. Still pretty young.

Hate to report that this bottle was advanced. Not undrinkable, but too far into oxidation than it should be at this point in its evolution.
