"The 2012 Meursault Les Tillets has more reduction on the nose than the 2014 Tillets, although it blew away with aeration. It is very focused and intense, with waxy aromas of honeysuckle and jasmine, yet still with a quasi-Mosel personality. The palate is very well balanced, with fresh citrus peel, orange pith, Chinese 5-spice and nutmeg notes toward the sustained finish. This appears to be improving with age. It's a complex and quite riveting Meursault that will root you to the spot. Tasted February 2017."
