A little bit more mature than I expected it to be, but not necessarily premoxed. The wine did improve with air, showing a lot of nuttiness and minerality, with generally mature fruit and decent acidity. It held up well overnight and was a decent drink throughout, but lacked the energy and excitement that I would hope to find in this vineyard. (86-88)
P.S. Leftovers on the third night were really nice. This developed in a very strange way. Upping my score. (88-90)

étrangement ce meursault bu il y a 6 mois me semblait fermé et sur le déclin. Lors de cette dégustation, il se révèle amble, vraiment très long en bouche et complexe.un peu gras mais délicieux

Levels of sulphur on the nose that literally removes the breath from ones lungs. Underneath the haze are pristine citrus fruits and a high tensile mineral spine. Delicate white flowers make an appearance and whilst the whole package is a little skinny it is delicious.

La Paulée de San Francisco - The Verticals (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. I found both this and the 2008 reductive and tough to fairly assess. I think this producer's wines are made in that style, for better or worse.
