  Slightly fuller colour than the Latour Puligny Champs Gain. Where that was tropical this is citrus. Weightier though. More mineral and slightly greater intensity. Lovely to drink them alongside - not sure which I prefer, they contrast and complement nicely. Very similar in profile to the Rrammonet ?Boudriottes that Mark P brought to the Remmington Norman offline. Quite tightly coiled and mineral still in the mid-palate with a lifted citrus fnish. Weightier texture than the Latour PM C-G. Maybe a little less frivalous and enjoyable superficially but more serious and commanding respect if thhat makes sense. Very good indeed. ****

  Anita: Very dark gold; too old, good structure, not “faulty” per se, but a bit sour. Well kept, but just over the hill IMHO.

  Mid colour, no signs of oxidation. Pleasant but no better. Some complexity but lacking excitement.
