Puligny-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
I brought this and was super impressed with the fill, color and overall condition the wine was in. Gave it a few hours in the decanter before bringing it to the shindig. Medium gold, but lighter than the 90 Montrachet next to it. Great nose with notes of lemon, tangerine, tan spice, some iodine and gravel stone. Great mouth feel with lots of fruit balanced against still strong acidity. This was killer juice and the bottle easily had another 10 years of life in it. Lucky to have an experience with an exceptional old white burg like this.

Mar 21st, 2021Tasted blind. Canary gold color. Great viscosity. Notes of apples, lemon, vanilla, cardamom and some nuttiness. Some power and heat in the mouth. Guessed 90 Ramonet Batard. Some iodine notes developed, and this wine powered up over the afternoon. Great juice.

Oct 11th, 2020Light yellow straw color. Has a youthful appearance but with great weight in the glass. Very tight at first but over 6 hours this developed lots of complexity. Notes of lemon, apricot, vanilla, stone, iodine, apples and some cinnamon. Perfect balance of fruit and acidity backbone in the mouth. Great wine that was still evolving late in the night.

Jul 22nd, 2017Light to medium gold color. Lighter and not as thick as the 86 Drouhin Monty. But just a good of a nose tho. Complex in the mouth. Great wine.

Nov 23rd, 2014At first, thought it was maybe a little past its prime or just bottle variation. But over 4 hrs the acidity built. Rich with decent length. Amazing how these wines come out of their shell with air
