Have you any experience with Puffeney Vin Jaune?

Yes but not 14. Here’s the TN on the 11 (latest) I had in June 2023:

Jacques Puffeney Arbois Vin Jaune 2011
Stunning. Classic and powerful nose of walnuts, red apple, coffee, caramel and oxidative overtones. The palate is so incredibly balanced. I thought the oxidative flavors would take over but no, it’s balanced, fresh and complex. There’s plenty of fruit and the acidity is not shrill it just offers the perfect medium to carry the fruit, spices, walnut and other flavors to a long persistent finish. One of the best vin jaune I’ve had.

I shared this bottle with a friend who had never tried vin jaune (or sous voile wine for that matter) and he was floored by it.
