  Served blind - a good bit of oak on both the nose and palate. A richer wine but drinking well.

  Beautifully rich and ripe; needed a few hours of air to fully unfold. An excellent example of Puligny, though without enough complexity to confuse it with a Grand Cru.

  D brought this to a tasting, forgetting he’d brought it last year. This was less evolved; indeed it was at its peak – white Burg ageing shock! Nice, yellow, bruised apples. Bread and butter pudding, drizzled with honey! Sugared pastry. Some power. It swung in and out across the evening. At its best, was gorgeous, open, near-sticky honey and margarine, with just enough acidity beneath. I love it when white Burg does indulgence. WOTN. 92 to 93, 92. [EDIT:93.]

  Stinky lead in. Perhaps some sulphur, but then again perhaps not enough because the arguably-luxurious buttery top is closest to rancid butter. Mineral, dry grass, toilet water, honey and trace yellow fruits in there too. So, the bottle is rather oxidised and that split the group of us, with me coming down on the side of still finding this wonderfully indulgent. In the mouth it flows and persists, like a layer of clear honey. That suggests scope to age, ie lighten up and gain definition. Uber-Burgundy-expert D concurred, but pointed out that the oxidisation would continue from here, so you wouldn't want to drink it in that particular future. Hopefully this was just a slightly poxed bottle; so others may have a future. Anyway, it was a v classy, concentrated if quirky Burg at this sitting. 89-91 to me; 89.
