  Light straw gold color. Strong pears and a bit of tamarind on the unctuous nose. Unctuous texture to match the nose with lovely notes of Anjou pear, gooseberry, and a little spice. Utterly delicious.

  2015 White Burgundies (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Grapes, grown on clayey-limestone, marl clear gravel and pebbles clear on surface, planted in 1989 & 1995. Fermented in temp controlled oak barrels, aged 12 mos in oak barrels (25% new). Complete malolactic, fined before bottling.
  
  N: Butter, vanilla, poss minerals? Lemons WAY underneath?
  
  P: Med body; Rndish entry with nice oak/frt off-set by an ALMOST puckerish acidity which slowly evolves into a LONG, spicy/minerally finish with a tangy/swtness (70/30). Poss NEEDS another yr, then drinking through '21 easily. My EXC-/EXC. Gold Medal @ '17 Concours des vins de la Côte Chalonnaise. [Wine-searcher has no current U.S. listings to which to compare this vendor's $29.95. It is, however, 4 or $5 < than what others are charging for the '14.]
