Subtly complex aromas of lime blossom, pear and minerals. Intensely flavored, concentrated and solidly structured, with a strong mineral character contributing to the impression of nervosite Quite dry and dense, with enough fat for its structure and ripe acidity. Finishes with noteworthy persistence. A rather intellectual, Puligny-styled wine, built to age; this may well merit a 90-point rating with time in bottle.

Rating for France-Burgundy: 89 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: quite possibly over the hill<br/>
