  Last of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, still young and going strong at 18, in essence as my Feb note, on mouthfeel, purity and freshness maybe better than last weekend's Lafon 06, though perhaps not as nuanced, tempted to upgrade from F+ (18).....many years left on this showing!

  Wow. The bottle pours with a straw golden color with very thick long legs. I am glad I gave it an hour beforehand to let it open up because it surely needs that time to fire all cylinders. The power and concentration of the nose is incredible and the wine does not seem tired at all despite the age. Unmistakable Meursault nose of buttered popcorn, lemon curd pie, honeysuckle, flint, sugarcane with just a hint of oxidation and nutty notes. Palate is voluptuous, plump and even fruity but well-scored and balanced by layers upon layers of acidity and racy minerals. Flavors reflect the palate and the tastes of buttered popcorn, toasted coconut and lemon zest are particularly well-received. Finish is long, complex as the wine concludes in a forceful, consummate, yet poised fashion. Fantastic wine one of the best, if not the best, vineyard in Meursault.

  11th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, pale, young, fine fruit, minerality with nice lemon lift, harmonious, weight of top vintage, scope for further development on this showing! F+ (18).

  9th of 12, opened an hour, as March 2013 note if a tad simpler and showing a strong lemon flavour matched with salmon, overall showing and looking young. Fine plus (18/20).

  7th of 12, decanted half hour, good fill, consistent good notes - mid yellow, involving and multi faceted on nose and palate, long and persistent, like most of these 2000s when not premoxed still improving. Fine plus (18/20).
