Tasting notes
The 1998 Meursault Village is surprisingly backward and reticent on the nose, eventually revealing scents of cockleshell, popcorn and almond with time, perhaps slightly more tertiary than the ’99 tasted alongside. The palate is nicely balanced with citrus lemon, orange zest and a touch of walnut. This boasts good depth and length, though somehow just a little conservative when compared directly with the ensuing vintage. I would drink bottles in the near future.
