1996 was a great great white Burgundy vintage. And it fell apart. The great wines were amazing, some of the best white Burgs in my experience. And premox came like the grim reaper, destroying so many wines. I’ve kept a few. Opened one tonight—Preuses from Dauvissat, not immune to the pox.

But this bottle is great. Great great like the vintage promised long ago. Essence of lemon drops. Incredible intensity. Length is infinite. So balanced. Minerals and a little chalk, but such intense citrus. I can’t even write in sentences.
