  Well structured. Starting to soften now. Beautiful fresh nose. Mineral. Long complex finish. Toffee, though not sweet. Hints of vanilla. Perfectly balanced with good acidity.

  Coravin tasting. This followed a surprisingly good basic grower champagne and then a curious sneak peak at my top chardonnary, an Olivier Leflaive Chevalier Montrachet 2011. That was good, not worth the price, but very good but I got lots of sulpher. This is much fresher yet somewhat more developed too. I think it's due to the sulpher. If there is less sulpher in the Chevalier Montracher then I'm blown away and understand Grand Cru Burgundy but I suspect it's just a matter of sulpher. This does seem a lot 'cooler' than before, even Luxembourg-esque. Yet there is a rich ripe apple note, pear too. Actually pear is the distinguishing character here.
  This is quite good. I kind of prefer the Chevalier-M but feel it need more time. This maybe does too. But drinks with a broader profile today and might improve in a very interesting way too.
  Yeah, lots of pear. But much more complex than that. Really good.

  Coravin tasting. On it's own and this is beautiful. Just about ready and very classy. Very good quality oak and very well used. Rich wine, quite ripe (in a Burgundy context), definitely up there with many Meursaults or Pulignys even at 1er cru level. Good value (bought direct from domaine after Balade Gourmande - €30).
  Softened by a rich scallop risotto but still stood up and very good. A 1er cru Puligny struggled more against it yesterday I think!
