Very toasty with lots of different fruits dominated by what I'd call a caramelized pineapple. Full body, long finish with a good acid balance to the fruit, and very burgundy/chardonnay, more so than any Macon I can recall tasting. That is, like a Puligny. Not as complex and subtle as Puligny but pretty damn nice. And this is being tasted a full six+ years after the vintage. THis was obtained from Chrish Peal's Westgate Wine for about 1/3 original price, a bargain for a white burgundy. I'd give this 91 points.
Tanzer IWC: 92 points. Light yellow. Spicy, mineral-dominated and fresh on the nose, with energetic lime and pink grapefruit scents; picks up white flowers and licorice with air. Juicy citrus and green apple flavors flesh out to offer poached pear and peach, without losing their focus. Strikingly pure wine, finishing with admirable lift and cut.
