  3/31/2019 - Jammy Wine Does not like this wine: 86 Points

  Ex-Domaine bottle. Bottled in Jan 2005. The 2003 Bourgogne Blanc offers a maturing nose of ultra-ripe apricot & tropical fruits, butterscotch and mild honied rancid butter. Rich and full on, premier Cru weight with glossy texture. Not much acidity (resembles 2005), a bit clumsy. If tasted blind, I would call this a Northern Rhone white than anything near Chardonnay. (86/100)

  Bouteille numerotee 1!
  This is peculiar and perplexing!
  What is the colour? Advanced golden? Green tinged? Transparently clear?
  Where is the nose? There's a faint trace of something lactic, but otherwise not a whole lot going on.
  The palate: blank initially, 5 minutes air and there's intense burnt butter, blank again, 15 minutes intense butterscotch/toffee, blank, glimpses of things like verbena, blank, tropical fruit, blank, eventually becoming more consistently like nutty cream with a gently smoky, peaty mineralite. Is there something lurking behind waiting to pop out?
  Just so perplexing - what's going on here? Closed? Over the hill? Too young? In need of a decant? Revisit tomorrow? Scorched vintage? Unique terroir at an awkward phase?
  5 hours later the nose starts to open up: smoke, nectarine, quince, orange blossom - how long till the palate catches up? I dunno, the bottle's empty and I'm off to bed. Conclusion: this is young with some way to go. Tread carefully. If opening be prepared to decant or slow ox, or at least be prepared to leave a lot of time between opening and consuming? Opening for lunch but preparing to drink for dinner might be your safest bet to fully appreciate? Bouteille numerotee 2 might have to wait 10+ years?
  Very difficult to try to rate pointswise.

  At Imperial Treasure Peking Duck Paragon to welcome Peter back from his Aussie adventure. Very pale gold in appearance. The nose was very pure, clean, elegant and full of white flowers. On the palate, minerally with good acidity. Peach, yellow fruits like kiwi and a hint of rocks and stone. This was definitely a Puligny wasnt it? Table was torn between Meursault and Puligny, some were on a 1er or Grand. When Wayne revealed it was a Bourgogne, it could only be Vogue, and what an experience. The only discouraging note was that the wine lacked the structure and also had a tad of bitterness and roughness at the end. Nevertheless, it was extremely enojoyable and in a good drinking window.

  This alongside with the Jadot Corton Charlie, is the best white wine for today. Still painfully young and tight, this only started to show after 30mins in the glass. The aromas is fine, refreshing and doesn't has the heat and over-ripe jammy fruits that often appear in 2003 wine. Honey oak and lightly toasted aromas with ripe yellow fruits that is creamy and bold and complemented with lots of nut, mineral and fresh herbs. Super clean on the intense, massive palate which remain focus, elegance and light on its feet, remarkable purity, complexity and good tension that leads to creamy texture and lemon buttery long persistent finish that offer mineral and vanilla aftertaste. While the oak is very much present, but I believe it has no problem to fully absorb it. Excellent. Buy - Maybe (It is hard to pull the trigger given the asking price)
