Showing its age but with some very nice butterscotch overtones. Juicy still. Improves with air.

My favorite of the vertical.. Nice balance of secondary and fruity notes.. For me- this is in the sweet spot

We opened this to compare with a 2008 Meursault, and it held it's own no problem! Beautifully lean, with vibrant acidity and purity of fruit.
