Jacques Prieur, Meursault Mazeray Blanc

Jacques Prieur, Meursault Mazeray Blanc(from a 3. 1 ha monopole). Aromas of grilled nuts, poached and acacia blossom slide into voluminous and equally delicious medium weight flavors that are at once concentrated and refined on the lingering finale. This delicious effort should also drink well shortly after release yet repay 3 to 4 years of cellaring.

The 2004 Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay

It opens dramatically as it airs in the glass and will benefit from time in a decanter

This excellent effort is worth checking out

earthy (black) and savory

Exemplary white Bordeaux

floral and discreet earth

Initial touches of tar and chargrill give way to blackcurrant

it's full-bodied

It has a minty freshness

The 2009 Barolo Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e delle Brunate (tasted in magnum) shows deep espresso and coffee notes at the outset that transform to dark fruit and sweet dark fruit

multi-dimensional

but the underlying material appears to be present for that to gradually occur over time
