  This bottle showed a little better, no surprise that there is bottle variation for a 9 year old white burgundy that probably stood upright under harsh lighting at a wine shop for the last 5 years. Good fruit including peach, it had that interest where every sip tasted different. Nice complexity but still really really lacking for a premier cru, and the $16 price still makes sense.

  Nose of unripe peach. Taste is smooth and lacking finesse. This wine isn't bad but does not live up to Premier Cru status and the cheap $15 price now makes sense.

  Great nose of ripe pear, peach pit and roasted nuts. Plenty of acid, well balanced. Just not rich or complex enough on the palate to improve. Drink up.

  Pale golden color. Started off with musty barrel, mushroom, apple, apricot and honey. Morphed in to an intense, crystal clear, ozone inflected minerality. Medium weight with nicely balanced acidity. The alcohol is a little high but this is excellent wine. It just lacks the complexity to push the score higher.

  Another wine I like better than the score. A well-aged bottle that I suspect is drinking with greater smoothness than when originally released. Not super complex, but a nice flavor profile. A hint of stems makes me wonder if this isn't slightly touched by the '04 "green meanies". Whatever the source, it's well in the background and doesn't elevate to a flaw. A good buy at $13.
