Pale-mid lemon, rich nose with ripe pears, vanilla and citrus, clean and well integrated. Dry, full-bodied, complex and delicious burgundian taste with minerality and good acidity. Very long finish. Drink up.

The nose is permeated by vivid and lovely minerals, pear compote and apple blossom. Palate is balanced, clean and has a nice balance between fruit, rather expressive oak and acidity. Good length on the finish. No need to save this any longer, it drinks perfectly right now.

Too oaky for me and wasn't very well balanced. That said, drinkable, but I'm not buying more.

Medium gold. Light in body, green grapes, some lime, a reserved presentation overall. Medium finish. Touch of heat not offset by fruit.
