Tasting notes
Very ripe, oily aromas of peach, apricot and spicy oak, with a suggestion of orange marmalade; high-toned in a positive way. Fat, ripe, peachy and full, with lots of buffering material for the ripe acids. Strong sweetness from the oak (two of the three barrels were new). Not especially complex or elegant but dense, long and built to age.

Putty. Sweet. Not quite as tense as the Chassagne-Montrachet Virondot. (JR)
Very ripe, sexy aromas of apricot and vanillin oak; distinct suggestion of exotic fruits. Concentrated and full, with impressive volume for the year. But perfectly integrated acidity gives the wine very good life in the mouth. A wine of great sucrosite, not to mention persistence. In fact, Mollard told me he had the wine analyzed because it tasted so sweet. But it's dry.
