  A wine in its best drinking spot right now, but with some peak years still left in it. It did not change very much over the course of a couple hours. I rate the nose a 95 as it was a potpourri of flower petals, rinds and skins of various citrus and stone fruits resting on a pile of white stone. On the palate it was largely the same but with a bit more chalk and stone than sweet fruits. Definitely a wine that shows best with the right foods and an aged salmon proved perfect.

  Open for several hours, this wine shows very little evolution over the course of time. Floral nose, very aromatic with hints of mint, lemon rind and lots of chalky flint. High acid palate, crisp lemon rind with chalky dry extract and minerals and tightly wound fruit packaged in a long finish. This is a seriously intense white burgundy at 10 years of age showing minimal evolution. The Chenevottes vineyard is adjacent and slightly up slope from the Montrachet vineyard, the texture of this wine is very Chevalier-Montrachet like in its structure and intensity, with the Chevy showing more volume and weight with a similar chalky texture.
  
  Revisiting this wine after 24 hours, and it has gotten better. At room temperature the nose is still phenomenal showing chalky citrus fruit and flint. It has the texture of a red wine, austere and structured with a salty and chalky character.

  Nose: jackfruit, caramel, white flower, popcorn, nutty
  Notes: very intense and rich aftertaste. Still very young right now and the color is still greenish. This is proper good wine as it gives you the fatty and intense nose yet the palate is quite light comparing to what the nose is showing. One thing I must say is not really my cup of tea would be the rather prominent minerality towards the end of the palate. I think this wine should show best in 3-4 years.

  Nose had matchstick, and citrus. Palate was initially quite citric driven with a high level of acidity. Then rounded out over time, with some stone fruit /minerality. Very enjoyable.

  My 40th birthday at 67 Pall Mall (67 Pall Mall): First of a case.
  Initially a very reductive nose of matchstick but with time this opens up wonderfully
  Deep rich palate that does a dance between well checked vanilla, lime oil, saline, yellow apple. Everything opens up in time to give great tension between rich flavours and good cutting acidity. Fantastic and can't wait to try more as this is just opening!
