Rarely do I come across overoaked white Burgs nowadays but this wine sits comfortably in that category. It’s not that troubling on the nose which while woody for sure manages to be decently attractive with its nutty, smoky and lemony notes. On the palate however there is a serious lack of fruit relative to the amount of oak and it just comes off as uninteresting and monotone. There is good acidity here so flabby it is not put trying to find flavors other than those derived from the ageing vessel is a lost cause. I reckoned it might be more palatable with a creamy dish with smoked salmon but that yielded no better results. Texturally this is a perfectly nice wine and without the oak I could see this being at least pleasant and food friendly.

4/4.5 - God lukt, fat. Bra tydelig syre. Helt utrolig lang, denne smaker man i minutter. Ettersmak av epler. Litt vel tydelig alkohol gjør at den vipper.

Bra intensitet, fruktig. Veldig tydelig syre, men i balanse. Denne sitter utrolig lenge. Tror den fint kan ligge et par år til. God alene, knall til ost. Alkoholen er ikke like tydelig som sist, så en klar 4,5.

Outstanding Bourgogne. Soft orchard fruit with a lively undercurrent and good length on the finish.
