My continuing quest to taste as many 22 Burgundies as possible…

This one is being poured colder than I would like. Because of that, I will skip the nose.

Beautiful palate with nice viscosity. Round & lush. Meyer lemons, lime zest, amazing green apple, pineapple, yellow & white stone fruit, yellow peach, kiwi, thick caramel, heather honey, cream, white spice, grey volcanic minerals, excellent chalkiness, fresh & dry herbs, crumbly limestone, touch more woodiness than I would expect, very light flintiness, yellow lilies, jasmine and white spring flowers, well knitted, balanced, good tension & texture, elegantly polished finish that lasts 90 seconds landing on brilliant fruits, spice and soft earthiness.

93+ with 5 yrs or more in cellar.
