Marmalade in color but very good. Oxidative notes with apricot and soft slate with pear in the middle. Complex and aged and lovely. Good balance. Very good.

This was just beautiful and drinking in a perfect place. I have had other bottles that were gone, but this was singing. Acidity still on point, floral, lovely fruit. What a great aged white burgundy should be; textbook. Wish I had more than one bottle left.

Still a baby - savory and a full mouthfeel complex notes no acid pop and pour. Late opening of butterscotch

What a nose! Roasted hazelnuts, roasted almonds, and pecans. Meyer lemon curd, petrol, crystallized honey. This completely over delivered. Thanks to @David L for sharing this gem with us.

Pretty amazing at 30 years! Special for that and just a solid wine. Drinking more like it's 15 to 20 years old. Perhaps a little gap between the rounded age of the fruit and the acidity, but that's picking nits. Fun!

O4. Buttery but beautifully integrated. Hard to believe a white can hold up so well

Rich, but plenty of acidity to balance. Delicious and mature, but no rush.
