Nose has butterscotch candy, fresh lemon peel, cut lemon, candle wax, yellow apple slice and toasted white bread.

Palate has warmed yellow apple, warm lemon curd, dried lemon zest and moist clay.

Decanted ~90m.

At +3h, the palate is picking up some nice weight, it's grrrrrreat!

Rounder and richer than earlier Rully vintages. Still, enough acid for food.

Very well balanced and fresh, with enough weight to match all varieties of dishes.

Toast, leesy, roasted Apple, and minerals on the nose. Bright acidity, med-body, Carmel Apple, spice, and toast on the palate. Great wine.
