  From an owc. Very fresh and vibrant. Nose had caramel, tropical extract, and peach. Palate was not overly complex but delivered what the usual old Jadot promises.

  From an outstanding looking bottle, this wine has a deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose put forth lemons, white stone, vanilla, and ginger.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was refined, light, and showed lovely balance at first. It scored in the 94 point area. However, after about 4 hours it firmed up and showed its mineral inflected flavors in a more dramatic fashion. It still had a lightness of weight but the impact of the steely minerals was huge.
  
  This bottle was the real deal. While at its peak, it will likely last for 5+ years in this condition. Drink at your earliest opportunity with adequate air.

  Modest core of fruit remaining, but despite reasonable color this bottle was overall quite flat

  From an excellent looking bottle, this wine had a deep yellow/light gold center. The high- intensity nose offered up baguette, lemon, vanilla, and white stone.
  
  In the mouth, this wine had a bit of excess vanilla to start. However, as it aired, it became more fruit and soil oriented and more intense. While medium bodied it had intense flavors, powerful acidity, and outstanding length.
  
  This was very good if somewhat refined. While at its peak, this bottle would have easily lasted 5 years.

  Zachys BYO Lunch in Burgundy (1243 Bourgogne Society - Beaune): Small taste, brief note. Rich and fat, this is holding up very nicely for its age and the vintage. Slightly low energy, but very good concentration has served it well. Very good now, perhaps not quite as exciting as a bottle from a few years ago.
