Nose has fresh lemon slice, cut green & yellow apples, Italian bread, vanilla cremé and wet slate.
Palate has fresh pineapple, cold yellow apple, white flowers, sandstone and mild vanilla notes. Great acidity (as expected in the most youthful of stages, current vintage) with some drying, chalky aspects.
Decanted 90m. Another great Boillot Bourgogne Blanc to stock the cellar with for enjoyment 2023-29.

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our Conductors Andris Nelsons and John Williams will be leading a very engaging program of Jessie MONTGOMERY (Starburst), John WILLIAMS (Violin Concerto No. 2, world premiere featuring Anne-Sophie Mutter!), COPLAND (Quiet City) and STRAVINSKY (Suite from The Firebird, 1919 version). We're getting the luxury of enjoying Mr. Williams two nights in a row...what a great weekend of Contemporary music! — 4 years ago

Light, minerally Sangiovese. Can pair with anything, or nothing. April’s reco, Jessie and Aaron fave. 👌🏼 — 6 years ago
Very drinkable for a young OR Pinot Noir. Soft, mellow tannins match harmoniously with notes of ripe black cherries, dusty leaves, and dried mushrooms. Rustic, elegant expression with a strong sense of place. Loved the wines I’ve tried so far from Eola-Amity Hills and this one is no exception. A great wine from Anthony King, perfect for NYE. — 7 years ago

After a long night of partying and attending two after hours (The End Up and San Bruno) Matt, Cait, Jessie and I came back to my place and so I opEnd this bottle for us. Jessica woke up and joined us too. What a crazy long night into day. — 9 years ago
Prior notes still apply, delicious bottle.
Nose has toasted brioche, grilled lemon, warm lemon creme, lemon zest, oxidized pear slice and fresh, rising bread dough. Palate has lemon pound cake, cold toast, limestone chips, dried lemon slice and (light) candied orange.
Great mid-palate, a restrained richness is all elegance, acid balance is perfect and not pulling you one way or another. At 15 years past vintage, a great example of finesse in Champagne.
