Wednesday, December 17, 2014 - Medium lemon color.

The nose is complex, developing with a medium+ aroma intensity. Aromas of tropical fruits, yellow plums, oak, chalky minerals, butter and green apples. Great nose, schoolbook example of white Bourgogne.

Dry on the palate with a medium+ acidity and body. Flavor intensity is medium+. Flavors of tropical fruits, chalky minerals, green apples, oak, butter and roasted nuts. Crisp, elegant and delicate. Finish is medium+ and complex with lots of citrus, green apples and chalk dust.

My guess ended up on high quality Chablis due to the pronounced minerality, crisp acidity and slender body. Drinking very good today. I can't see why one would save this for much longer.
