Very good Grand Cru concentration and richness. Plump with nice layering but certainly showing its age at this stage. Approaching the tail end of its prime drinking window.

Tuesday (Chicago, IL): This was likely from the same lot as my bottle from a few years back, but drank far better. Very dense and oaky, and air was needed to help round things off. This definitely has got the expected Montrachet weight and heft here. Still very fresh, if a hint low on acidity, especially for a vintage like 2004.

Pre-Paulee Warm-up Dinner (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): In vertical. Reductive start did not fully dissipate for several hours, so this never came across nearly as complete as the younger wines. Still very tasty tonight.

La Paulée de Meursault (Château de Meursault): À la Paulée. Profond et magnifiquement équilibré, avec une longue finale saline. Très grand blanc. 96 pts
