Oxidation unfortunately marrs the full enjoyment of yet another mid 90's white Burgundy. Dark golden. Plasticine, dried grape, dried chamomille tea, petrichor and hints of baking spice in the midst of alcoholic heat and tangy flor-like salty minerality. Palate is rather simple and underwhelming. Should've drank this a number of years ago. Oh well...

This wine looked quite young with a light yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose showed apples and white stone. The flavors echoed the nose and the wine was medium bodied with medium length. It was only marred by a touch of excess alcohol. A nice wine that will doubtless improve with age but is unlikely to be great.

Sound color but strange juxtaposition of sherried notes, green herbs, yet very good acidity and minerality to start. It did not take long for the oxidation to win, and the wine fell apart.

Drank at the French Laundry – No formal note taken. From 375ml. Notes of white grape juice, ripe brown pear, sherry-like aromas and toasty notes as well. Savory flavours best with food. Drink or hold. Excellent.

Fully matured and starting to get a bit tired. Ramonet mint, baked apple, drink up.
