Nicely delineated. About the right shade of yellow-gold for its age. Almost dark enough that you expect some (normal) oxidation, but the crispness of the wine shocks you out of complacency. This was about the time I stopped buy white Cote d'Or wine. Should have grabbed another bottle or two of this one; seems to be aging nicely. Quite tasty now, but even better things are to come, I think.
Sounds good. Don't have that one, but the 02's I and some of my local friends have been opening lately are in great shape and I've only had one that seemed prematurely oxidative. Merry Christmas to you and Melissa.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
