   * **Puligny Champ-Canet** (May 2013): not oxidized, youthful and fresh [droch]
   * **Puligny Combettes** (March 2016): One oxidized and one ok (possibly slightly advanced) [Kevin Harvey]
-  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Combettes"** (Jun. 2018 – ): 5 btls not oxidized + 1 btl advanced but still drinkable. Better decanted. The good btls are youthful, but the elements are coming together beautifully. Just–ripe citrus in the nose carries over to the palate, which is complicated by a tantalizing interplay between refreshing acidity & sweet fruit. At least 1 btl delivered an astonishing surge of flavor in the finish with nut oils, preserved lemon, & salted caramel that was reminiscent of New World Chardonnay. From 2 lots of 6 purchased in Dec. 2013 & Jul. 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]
+  * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Combettes"** (Jun. 2018 – May 2020): 10 btls not oxidized + 2 btls advanced but still drinkable. Better decanted. The good btls are youthful, but the elements are coming together beautifully. Just–ripe citrus in the nose, complicated by smokey, leesy complexity in some btls, carries over to the palate, which is complicated by a tantalizing interplay between refreshing acidity & sweet fruit. At least 2 btls delivered an astonishing surge of flavor in the finish with nut oils, preserved lemon, & salted caramel. From 2 lots of 6 purchased in Dec. 2013 & Jul. 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]
   * **Puligny Referts** (June 2018): fine, high acidity (Adrian Latimer)
   * **Puligny–Montrachet "Les Referts"** (Aug. 2018 – Jan. 2019): 2 btls not oxidized + 1 btl advanced. The good btls are half a notch down from the Combettes in terms of power & complexity, but all of the same elements are there: a lemony bouquet that's easy on the senses continues on to the palate where sweetness from the fruit provides exceptional balance. From a lot of 3 purchased in Aug. 2015 from the auction platform of a reputable West Coast retailer. [Rayner Cheung]

   * **Puligny Referts** (May 2019): not oxidized, taught, mineral, austere, super (Adrian Latimer)
   * **Puligny Combettes** (May 2019): after the Referts & Perrieres. Another odd bottle, the darkest colour (just) of the 3.  No obvious pox, but just tatses of caramel, flat, no fruit or minerality or lift. Very advanced - certainly way below par (again)? (Adrian Latimer)
- * **Puligny Combettes** (June 2019): 3rd time lucky & quite a difference, tight, dense, very citrus, youngish (Adrian Latimer)

 ===== 2009 =====
   * **Puligny Folatieries** ( Nov 2016) no premox, very lean wine [b.henry]
-  * **Puligny Referts** (May 2019) no premox, not too 09 ripe, very good (Adrian Latimer)
+  * **Puligny Referts** (May,Dec 2019) 1st no premox, not too 09 ripe, very good, 2nd in December nice aromatics, similar but finish completely flat and dead, drinkable but advanced.  If 1st bottle would score 91-2 this would be 90... (Adrian Latimer)
-  * **Puligny Champs Canet** (July 2019) no premox (Adrian Latimer)
+  * **Puligny Champs Canet** (July, Dec 2019) no premox, that makes 6 ten year old 1e crus drunk this year, one a bit tired but none premoxed and 5 on very good form.  Glimmer of optimism?! (Adrian Latimer)
   * **Puligny Garenne** (July, Sept 2019) both very nice (Adrian Latimer)
   * **Puligny Perrieres** (Dec 2019) again no premox, not too 09 ripe, lovely (Adrian Latimer)
