Wow this is one of the better bottles I have had from the entire '02 Boillot line-up (many of which were plagued with oxidative notes, etc.) Fresh, crisp, palate coating, lively acidity. Fantastic!

full golden hue, smoky oak greets the nose, toasted corn kernels, clarified butter, roasted pineapple all in layers - bright acidity, really deeply fruited with prominent pineapple and asian pear, oak is integrating well and contributes lots of allspice on the midpalate, long finish is vibrant and bright offering textural contrast to the wood, remains clean and direct over time turning a touch lusher and developing a nicely restrained, high toned fruit chachter. Excellent with day boat scallops in chowder relish but would have been had I grilled the scallops.
