Tasted blind. From magnum. Medium gold color, leesy nose. Notes of citrus, almond paste, mint, grapefruit and some ginger. Rich and glycerol in the mouth. Lots of acidity. We're all over the map on deciphering what this is. But we circle back to Burgundy and my guess is 89 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlie. This wine tonight certainly benefited from aging in the magnum format... we're all amazed at the freshness and quality this 92 still had.

Not the best vintage in Burgundy. However, when it’s not the best, trust in good producers and vineyard site.
This wine had excellent texture and mouthfeel, light creaminess, nice white citrus, some tropicals, beautiful in the mouth, amazing white flowers, nice acidity and elegant, beautiful finish. Just lacked the wow factor one hopes from this site.
Thanks Jeremy for bringing.

This aged beauty is as old as me, but still shining bright through its golden color and quality. Initial notes of buttery popcorn transitioning to mild aromas of port wine. On the palate, a nice sweet and salty richness, resembling flavors of kettle corn. A calming acidity is present to balance everything out. This was a delightful bottle.
