Been a while. Big, ripe and evocative nose. Buttery, mineral, wet earth. Nuts. Gorgeous. Even white flowers. Very subtle. Very nuanced. Rich, ripe, so deep and complex. Florent is the man. So good. Amazingly deep. Long. Precise yet opulent.

Steely, with a nose that hints lemon, green grassy notes, and a nutty quality. One sip demands the next. Could drink this all night ( but I'll have to slow down!). Delicious. Thanks, Tom!

Great and classic fragrance -- juicy pear, lemon-soaked Burgundian earth, hazelnut. Very linear and persistent. Excellent balance. The earth, minerals, and nuttiness are very present in the front half of the palate. Beautiful acids make the lingering finish lip-smacking. Really nicely done. Premier Cru quality.

Delicious. After a day on the mountain and PA turnpike closures getting home (uggh) this was the correct elixir. All in harmony. Quite nice

Big, generous buttery nose. What a palate. Zowie, Batman. There is some serious structure here. Juicy and ripe. Very pure and viscous. At once opulent and chiseled at the same time. Dazzlingly long and zesty. Utterly classic, faultlesss, and delicious Meursault. Lemony, minerally and so pure and thick. Great acidity and cut. This is just a pleasure.

Dang dang dang. Premox. Feck. I loved this last time I had it (either 1 or 2 years ago). I won't rate it.

It's fucking Trump's fault.

A little oxidative by now, but in a tastey way. That whole nutty thing.

Again. A pleaser. Great grip and mineral spine. Really started to show nicely after a few hours
