Almost shy, not sure how this will evolve with floral aromas and a hint of stone fruit. Very light palate with some mushroom on the finish. A bit of phenolic bitterness comes across mid-palate, easily remedied by the right food pairing.
Demure but still nice, shows the promise of the appellation in a good vintage. Day 2 fruit's faded but the bitterness still shows.

Domaine de la Folie Visit with Vintage '59 (Rully): Brief tasting note, winery visit. Dense and not as expressive, this showed some citrus and orchard fruit but was very coiled up. Very good potential for my palate. 15-20% new oak, this Monopole bottling comes from a beautiful eastern facing vineyard site, buried in the middle of the forest, to boot.
