Ripe orchard fruit throughout, fully mature. I've had better and worse bottles from this same case. Best when popped-and-poured, certainly less interesting an hour later.

Casual Burgundy Dinner with Friends from Becky Wasserman (The Bristol - Chicago IL): The absolute best bottle so far from a case+ purchased several years ago. Ripe orchard fruit with excellent concentration, floral hints with subtle savory spice. Shockingly fresh for its age, I'd have thought it at least 5 years younger if served blind. Served alongside the 2012 vintage, both showing so much similarity, with obvious age differences.

One of the better bottles from the 2 cases I bought a couple of years ago (now half consumed). Ripe stone fruit and apple with a nice level of maturity, giving a slightly caramelized character. Lots of sweet spice as well. Good density. Very fun now.

Completely oxidized. While I have had some brilliant bottles of this as recently as 2017, this is now 2 consecutive that were undrinkable..

Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Tasting #1 (Northside / Montrachet-adjacent) (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Tired, well past its peak.
