took some coaxing but the subtle nose revealed lime, Granny Smith, talcum powder and white flowers
flavors ranged from creamy apple, white peach and yellow pears to lemon twist and lime aid
a bees wax to lanolin feel contrasted by the beam of citrus acid

Tried again over dinner 3 month later. Tons of minerals. The classic hazelnut complexity of white burgundy is omnipresent. Meyer-Lemon, touch bitter, bracing acidity. 13.5% high for a white. Has a bite. Quite tannic. This can easily be aged for another 5 years may be more. Too bad these wines are so expensive. In a Restaurant this will be 250.
