(90-93) This too is sufficiently reduced to mask the nuances of what appears to be ripe fruit. There is excellent verve to the big-bodied and well-concentrated flavors that coat the palate with sap on the firmer and more complex finale. This won't win any awards for elegance but there is so much development potential that I find this quite impressive overall.

Notes of green apple, preserved lemon, oatmeal and a reductive top-note of smoke mingled with white flowers precedes a powerful, full-bodied palate with lovely texture, intensity and cut. Poruzots seems to have done especially well this year, and Antoine Jobard's example is no exception. (Drink between 2022-2040)

The 2015 Poruzots from Domaine Jobard was a touch reductive on the nose, but absolutely stellar on the palate in mid-November. With coaxing, the bouquet delivers scents of apple, tangerine, hazelnuts, iodine, great minerality, a gentle floral topnote redolent of geraniums and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off outstanding mid-palate depth, with fine backend mineral drive, racy acids and outstanding length and grip on the poised and very well-balanced finish.

Jobard's 2015 Meursault 1er Cru Poruzots offers up a surprisingly outgoing, generous bouquet of crisp peach, pastry cream and nutty new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, glossy and textural palate with good depth and tangy balancing acids. Charming and expressive, it will drink well in its youth by Jobard's standards. - William Kelley
