1989 vintage. Tasted 5.5.23 (9.5), 4.4.23 (6 different btls-avg 9.4) and 12.9.22 (9.6). Above average fill for the age and impressive cork (about 70% saturated). Decanted and tasted over the course of two hours. Threw a decent amount of powdery sed. Medium nose slightly muted for the first 10 minutes or so but then came roaring to life. Yes, still the hallmark blueberries and cocoa powder along with a dash of raspberry but bigg graphite with this bottle. Drank consistently great for 1.75 hours, then seemed to lose a little steam at the very end. Not improving but still think cellar dwellers need to be popped in the next five years to enjoy the magic before it fades. 3.28.24. — a month ago

Why don’t we all drink more Aligoté? Because they’re not all like this. A fun and very pretty wine. Initial aromas of honeysuckle and lemon zest. Continues to blossom with grassy and floral notes. Sharp acidity and fantastic structure. Fresh and alive though very, very young. Salinity and precision on the palate with green apples and moist stone. Not Chablis but not trying to be either. It’s own thing and rather nice. — a day ago
