This remains one of the stellar white Burgundies in my mind, and has been for several years; the last time that I served it was at the Bacchus New York event and it was great then; opens with a powerful and intense nose that is complex and changing, first with lots of green herbs, then evolving into a more sweet and honeyed set of aromas that take on an almost tropical character; sweet and beautifully focused in the mouth with both power and finesse running side-by-side at the same time; buttered popcorn hints keep creeping into the wine; big acidity at the core as one would expect from this winemaker. (20/20)

Big nose with aggressive aromatics, complex and intense with interwoven aromas of rubber bands, licorice, minerals, hints of honey, smoky, citrus fruits; big flavors in the mouth, powerful and complex, somewhat immature yet but complex and expressive; silky textures; ripe lemon flavors with spicy notes; long sweet finish with balance and poise. (19/20)

Not a particularly complex nose, but with very good aromas of sweet limes, lots of minerals, quite dry; opens with promise, showing good sweet fruit on the uptake, but then seems to fall back, becoming somewhat coarse and angular; dry textures in the mid-mouth are devoid of real fruit; gets harder at the end and finishes on a down note. (15.5/20)

Ripe and rich nose with strong hints of honey and lime, minerals, spices with a touch of caraway seed and cardamon; smooth and rich in the mouth on the first taste; still pretty closed up showing more lemon and citrus, but with a solid base of fruit and a dense texture that signals more to come in the years ahead; right now the wine finishes a bit austere and citric, but I suspect that this will moderate with a bit more age. (17/20)

* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Intense and complex nose, layers of aromas that bring forth cookie dough, smoked meat, paraffin, soapstone, green herbs, and sweet ripe fruits; sweet and ripe in the mouth, layers of flavor that bring forth candied lemons, hard candy; smooth and silky; perhaps lacking in acidity overall, but a wonderful wine at this juncture. (17.5/20) Another bottle at the Veritas Group Aix dinner was equal in every way, but my notes reflect this bottle as having more fat in the wine; the rating remains the same.

Very smoky nose, laced with paraffin, ripe fruits, deep and complex aromas; rich and round in the mouth, intensely flavored; sweet citrus fruits, hints of earth, herbs; elegant and succulent with great depth and distant horizons; long powerful finish; quite a statement. (19/20)

Wonderful nose of ripe vanilla bean and lemon peel with powerful mineral notes, rocks and shale, some smoke, elegant and intense; ripe and rich in the mouth with strong mineral notes; hints of honey laced with rocks; slightly bitter with lemon peel flavors; complex, elegant, and layered; not ready yet, but already showing powerful elements of deep and yet hidden components waiting to emerge. (18/20)
