A discreet nutty-infused nose speaks of mostly white orchard fruit, acacia blossom and citrus rind aromas. There is a bit more richness and volume to the attractively textured middle weight flavors that possess excellent intensity on the bone-dry, balanced and firmly structured finale. This is impressive for its level though like its Puligny counterpart, it will need at least a few years of forbearance. Drink: 2027+ - BH90
