TN: A 2003 White Burg that works
*2003 Les H=E9ritiers du Comte Lafon M=E2con-Milly-Lamartine - France,
Burgundy, M=E2connais, M=E2con-Milly-Lamartine (9/28/2005)
With spaghetti in uni-mustard cream sauce, garnished with surigoma and
strips of nori.
Bright clear ripe yellow. Very slight whiff of wood on the nose
followed by ripe citrus, seashells, and rounder stone fruit. Palate
entry is sweet apple with a very full, ripe, and round mid-palate.
Finish is clean, dry, and persistent with a little lemon and some warm
stone in the back of the throat/nose. There is no need to wait on this.
It is ready for business and very ripe, but stays just on the taut side
of the line. Clearly of its vintage but with the balance to be
enjoyable throughout the meal (and for one more glass after).
