This has medium colour, but the colour is hovering somewhere between golden and orange. The first aromas are tight, slightly honied but as it opens the oxidative character comes to the fore. In the mouth there’s good acidity, sweetness and above-average density – it’s quite silky too. Particularly impressive length with intensity and many dimensions that include creamy, caramelised fruits. It starts as borderline drinkable for someone who dislikes oxidation, but fills out with ever-more complexity and interest – indeed very drinkable.

Pale gold. The sweet nose starts with a toasty blast that fades to provide a trace of pineapple and butterscotch. The palate is equally sweet with a pleasing balance, nice acidity and a good length. The fruit is nicely concentrated but doesn’t really shout ‘Puligny’ to me. Puligny or not, this bottle was enjoyed, hence, finished much faster than expected. Perfect now and very tasty.
