Nose of cheese, yeast, bread, touch of premox, but palate is fresh and dense and lean and acidic. So structured and I can see this "youthing" up over the next hours.

Update: I was wrong. This premoxed within the hour.

Grand cru concentration and intensity. Still young, oak needs to integrate

Punching miles above its weight. Citrus zest and melon, pineapple. Chalky jungle fruit with nice acidity. From magnum. Thanks, Joe!

Nose was crisp, tasted bright, slightly fruity and smooth.
