Typical pycm, racing minerality and flint. Flashy bouquet of white flowers, barely ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, and toasted hazelnuts. Reduction softened with age but still razor focused. Genevrieres giving that rounder, weighted texture that provides a nice contrast to play against the sharp linear edges. Rich coating finish.

Still firm and a bit more advanced on the palate than expected but full of heart and character. There is something undoubtedly authentic in the dense brambly fruit, clearly defined vosne spice, all blanketed now by an attractive savory undertone. Lacks the depth of GE or CV but nice.

A bit clunky and heavy, lacking finesse. Palate restrained and overwhelmingly dominated by spice.
