  Buttery yellow fruit, bright, very lean but weighty with power. Very Montrachet. 93-94

  Honey, apricot, yellow fruit, and vanilla. Palate is ripe with good layers and a very long aftertaste. Fat and creamy yet retaining the montrachet finesse. With aeration, there is beautiful white flower. Drinking at peak. Acidity is medium. I would not hold onto this 01 monty for very long. It is drinking beautifully with 1.5 hour of bottle aeration. It has opened up nicely. An excellent montrachet. 93-94

  This wine needs at least 4 hours of breathing before it's approachable. Notes of pineapple, white flowers, minerals, flint stone makes this a very special wine. I guess Montrachet from Marc Colin never disappoints. The palate is so smooth with an apricot and cream aftertaste. Absolutely stunning. I believe this wine is beginning to be ready for consumption and should last for at least another 15 years!

  My premox record with Colin has not been good so this came as a big positive surprise. Quite Chevalier-like in its flavour and minerality profile, with only the overall heft of the wine pointing to this being the full Monty.
  
  Even a day after opening, the wine is holding up very well with little degradation
  
  Quite lovely

  Napa Who? Lunch with Non-Indigenous Wines (Yountville, California): Tulip yellow. Haunting nose of citrus, anise, and truffles. A touch of leesiness, a bit of wood, but nothing that detracted from the essence of the wine. Layered and multidimensional, large scaled but magically light, almost indescribable with a unique, persistent core of blood orange and licorice. Pretty much perfection now but should hold. I have had miniscule experience with Montrachet itself (this was probably only the second bottle I've ever tasted), but I must admit that this fits my Platonic notion of the great Cote de Beaune Grand Crus. An experience that just left me shaking my head in wonder. The wine of the day by several lengths despite some other fabulous bottles having been poured.
