Meursault, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
My continuing quest to taste as many 22 Burgundies as possible…
Nose is not all that expressive. Lemon, lime, green apple, tropical melons, honey notes, cream, sea spray, pleasant chalkiness, limestone, volcanics, spring flowers framed in yellow lilies.
Palate is; round, high viscosity, paraffin, lemon syrup, lime, nice green apple with skin, tropical melons, hints of kiwi, honey notes, cream, sea spray, nicely toned white spices/ some palate heat, pleasant chalkiness, limestone, volcanics, hints of mushroom, light caramel notes, soft wood tones, white spring flowers framed in yellow lilies, very good acidity and a nicely balanced, well tensioned, polished elegant finish that lasts a full minute and lands on gentle spice & earthiness.
90+ a little with 3 yrs in bottle.

Great crushed seashell and lime cirtus on nose. Unctious and rich on the pallat, finishes nice and mellow with again a citus splash. Yum

What an elegant evening! Delightful wine to compliment an excellent meal. Smokey nose, not too fruity. Jennifer would order this again in a heartbeat. Jennifer said the nose is heavier than she's used to.

Golden color, honey, grain, oatmeal, melon, peaches. I like decanting t because it evolves nicely over a couple of hours.
