Château de Meursault, Meursault 1994

Patriarche Père et Fils Château de Meursault, Meursault 1994: This wine has a rich, deep golden hue. On the nose restrained stone fruit aromas mix with a more obvious oaty, nutty, slightly toasty bouquet. With aeration and warming a hint of Madeirisation suggests oxidation, but it is not problematic. The palate has real class, with moderate fruit, a clean streak of acidity, and a woody, nutty savoury note. The complexities are particularly clear on the finish, which leads into an attractive, clean length. Very good. (30/10/00)
