From a pristine looking bottle purchased at auction, this wine had a shockingly young color. It had deep a yellow (not gold) center and clear rims. The high- intensity nose featured buttered popcorn, apple, white stone, and a hint of toffee. It was stunning.
The wine was a bit watery at first but gradually increased in both flavor and intensity. It had an attractive funk, clean bright flavors, and great persistence. It was reasonably rich but it also had a core of lemon oil essence that lingered in your mouth.
Parker said this was one of the best white Burg's he has ever tasted. I am not sure I would go that far, but it was outstanding juice. I am not sure that even many of the professional tasters would realize that a wine like this needs 2+ hours of air to realize its potential. Rated too early, this wine would not score well.
This will last but I see no reason to wait.

Tried several times with consistent results. Matured burgundy. Wine opened in 1+ hrs and lasted for 3+ hrs. Honey and caramel. Can consume now, but can last for another 5-10 yrs.

Ye Paulee (Hao Noodle): Great condition, beautiful yellow fruit, rich, coiled, perhaps simpler compared to the 02 on the side but what a treat. 93
