(at the end of its malolactic fermentation) Nut oil and minerals on the nose. Fat, rich and spicy, but a tad rustic. Finishes long and powerful. From a 350-liter barrel: pure on the nose, then quite penetrating in the mouth, with soft citrus flavors. A distinctly firm style.

Rating for France-Burgundy: 91 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
