Aging beautifully, the acidity and minerals are incredible yet doesn’t lack strength and structure.

Nice. Warm baked apple on the palate. Surprisingly light color. Very soft and inviting, but lacking a bit in acidity and focus. Drink up!

Wow! Great length meets mineral and citrus flavors wrapped around cleansing acidity! Terrific.

Yellow gold. Nice weight. Great nose with notes of lemon, spice, white stones, vanilla and orange peel. Rich with loads of structure and acidity in the mouth. With hours of air this just bigger and better. This is still on the upslope.

Drinking pretty well, wearing some oak on the richer side.

Bright, tart lemon lime precision with good stony minerality. Showing well now and should hold and possibly improve for several years.

This is actually one of the better 08s I have had from Meursault. Unmistakeable Meursault with a nutty full mouthfeel but also definitely 08 with a screaming high acid and tart green apple fruit
