  This is young and enjoyable now, but it shines in the glass. Great purity and cut with fabulous minerality and acidity. This is great, and we enjoyed with a dover sole dish with a lobster cognac sauce at Restaurant Michael in Winnetka. My only bottle of this, and was worried about pre-mox. Just a wonderful bottle

  Somewhat reserved upon opening, nose is very clean and intense, some nutty and buttery aspects but no unusual evolution. Palate shows fantastic balance between weight and fattiness on one side, and energy and lift on the other. This is both interesting and a delight to drink. Will probably become better with more time, but can perfectly be enjoyed now.

  A very clean chard. The key to getting the best of this is not to serve it too cold. When it is cold the terrific minerality and chalk is hidden by overly strong citrus notes. As it gets up to about 50 degrees the balance is much better and a nuttyness comes forward.

  Mouldy cork, probably attributable to some poor storage on my part. Cork was quite saturated for something only five years old. Pale yellow colour. Somewhat nutty nose, with some floral and brown spice notes as well. On the palate, this is quite balanced with again floral and honeyed notes, a slight hint of sweetness, as well as some toasty qualities. Some gala apple fruitiness as well. Certainly rich, as expected, for a Meursault. Great concentration. Acidity is there, and this is thankfully not an example of those big fat Meursaults that one can come across (and have led me to focus on "greener" pastures). Medium-length, floral finish. Lovely.

  Knightsbridge's Burgundy Tasting (Knightsbridge, Northbrook IL): nose: Good robust nose of hazelnuts, tart citrus tones, smoke, some buttered bread, green apples, and hot oils. Nose is a bit tight, but its well defined already
  
  taste: excellent medium/full feel with really good medium+ acidity and tones of oranges, buttered toast, some smoke, and a good amount of hazelnuts
  
  overall: This is really good already. The acidity catches up real fast on the backend. Has some good fat that it needs to shed, but should really get better with a few more years
