Huge wine, such intensity it's ultimately overboard. The viscosity is at a level rarely achieved in Burgundy, and that I loved. However the intensity of flavor was so much it started to overlap with New World style. My gut tells me this will be quite special with another 10-15 years to resolve itself, clearly the material is there. In sum, this wine is excellent but somewhat controversial at this stage and given current pricing anything less than perfection winds up being a disappointment.

Kleur: Medium goudgeel. Aroma / bouquet: Vol, expressief en verleidelijk met zowel frisse (appel, peer, brioche) als rijpere (honing, gekookte kool (aangenaam / reductief)/ gebrande nootjes) aromatische kenmerken. Smaak / Afdronk: Mondvullend, dik-sappig. Een enorme retronasale smaakrijkdom. Mooie concentratie, prachtige balans. En wsat een lengte… Harmonie! Algemeen / potentieel: Bijzondere combinatie van fraicheur en rijpheid en een zeldzame combinatie van power en finesse. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 14 + Smaak / Afdronk: 18 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 96/100
Colour: Medium golden yellow. Aroma / bouquet: Full, expressive and seductive with both fresh (apple, pear, brioche) and riper (honey, boiled cabbage (pleasant / reductive) / roasted nuts) aromatic characteristics. Taste / Aftertaste: Mouth-filling, thick-juicy. An enormous retronasal richness of taste. Beautiful concentration, beautiful balance. And was a length… Harmony! General / potential: Special combination of freshness and maturity and a rare combination of power and finesse. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 14 + Taste / Aftertaste: 18 + General / potential: 9 = 96/100

Denser. Richer. Honey. Deep much riper. Amazing concentration. But more mature than expected.
