Nose was intense wood spice and maybe some lees, not much in the way of fruit. Some small bit of ripe pear. Good medium plus acidity and a round mouthfeel. The palate mirrored the nose: woods pice and cream. It was very drinkable but not what I expect from a white burgundy... there wasn't enough minerality. It also didn't have the fruit I prefer in my wines. A good quality wine but not my style.
