The 1996 Meursault Bouchere had quite a deep straw color. There is plenty of honeycomb and even marmalade on the nose although the palate is much fresher than you would expect. Slight resinous texture on the oxidative finish with hints of lemongrass and tangy orange peel. Personally, I need more freshness to counterbalance the oxidative notes but others may appreciate it more than I.
