2004 Phillipe Colin Chassagne-Montrachet 'Les Chenevottes"

This is a premier cru white Burgundy. I have previously had a wine from the same vineyard by another producer, so when this came up at a good price at auction, I wanted to try it.
13.5% abv, cork about halfway soaked through.
c- straw yellow.
a- oak, nuts, hazelnut, minerality, lemon.
f- good. Acidity, nuts, minerality, citrus. Medium mouthfeel, long finish. Smells like there is a touch of oxidation at first, but it blows off to reveal a very tasty wine. 90.
