Glowing like a beaming debutant whose understanding exceeds even her parents' peers. Lovely now but I can only imagine what she'll become. There's a muscularity to the body and a lifted savory chicken stock at first that sits properly (daresay formally?) on the edge of its Beaune seat ...but then once tasted, it washes over the palate in all that sapid, resinous orchard fruit only southern Burgundy seems to foster -leaving you only after a drawn out parting like lovers earnest to find ways they'll never need to part. An absolute delight even if it is a year or seven too soon. Worth repeating each year through a case -a case for a case!

Just not showing much. Decent but seemed closed down and not showing all the goods it could and not much peeked out enough to bring excitement.
