An overtly ripe nose speaks of hazelnut, white peach, pear and soft spice notes that merge seamlessly into rich, full-bodied and broad-scaled flavors that brim with an abundance of extract that confers a textured mouth feel onto the intense, powerful and muscular finish. (2/ 2011)
Sample taken before fining: Pale straw-yellow. Deeply pitched aromas of ripe peach and honey. Chewy and sweet but restrained on the palate, with excellent density and energy to the zippy stone fruit flavors. Finishes dry and classic, with palate-coating persistence. The same wine after the fining: Restrained, pure aromas of white flowers and clove. Lush, rich and seamless, with harmonious acidity contributing to the wine's smooth impression. More refined than the first sample (no surprise!) but not showing quite as much energy today. (10/ 2011)
The 2009 Meursault Goutte d'Or is clean, precise and beautifully focused. It shows lovely mid-palate pliancy in a slightly rounder, softer style than the Clos de la Barre. Ripe pears and white flowers linger on the energetic, saline finish. Anticipated maturity: 2014+. (9/ 2011)
