This is actually very forward for a young Montrachet

with a fine light to medium body and amazing length

Floral pastille flavors flesh out steadily on the back half

but all the elements are impeccably balanced throughout

but without any heaviness

Philippe Colin, Santenay Gravieres Rouge other_regions_italy This is actually very forwardA more discreet dollop of wood is present on the nicely cool and ripe nose of mostly dark pinot fruit, newly turned earth and a whiff of spice. The rich, concentrated and lush medium bodied flavors are a bit more obviously mineral driven while delivering fine length on the ever so slightly austere finale. This is relatively forward and could be enjoyed after only 2 to 3 years of bottle age.
