My expectation is zero considering the house style and premox. The color through the bottle is quite promising. Golden but clear yellow, lanoline/petrol is quite strong for Chardonnay, honey, peach, apricot, sweet spices, burnt sugar, vanilla/oak and limestone. Very good concentration, rich and opulent, slightly cloying but not terribly bothersome, good acidity and a medium to long finish. Not the most complex but very rich and opulent. Surprisingly enjoyable. It may be blasphemy, I imagine the 08 DRC Montrachet developing the similar profile with time.
