L1. Wine tasting at Phenol. Warmup bf reds. Magnum. Disjointed out of bottle with weird acid/premox mix. Others said it was excellent so tried again at end of night. More pronounced premox notes. Missed any goodness.

{Bought on release, tasted as part of monthly group White Burg Premier Cru tasting} initially lots of cut, then full and flavorful, buttery. Some tasters liked its mix of earthiness and creaminess. Elegant, minerally for me. Group #2 of 9 wines. Would drink before 2020.

A little on the funky side. Might be an off bottle. Less citrus than I remember from the last time I had one. Vanilla and cream. Less balanced. Needs some acid.

Earthiness on the nose. Some funk initially on the palate but nice bright acidity. Good balance and very food friendly. Some oak/vanilla on the palate and really enjoyable citrus. Very nice

rich, glycerin mouth feel. Oak could be more integrated. Fine now, fine for a few more years
