Nose has some mild toasty oak and green apple, huge Puligny like minerals and iodine. This smells like Puligny 1er Cru. Like a dead ringer. Wow that palate is stunning. Lots of fruit skins and like citrus and green apple plus tangerine and apricot but all on a bed of intense minerally. Extreme concentration and terrific finesse. Long and sapid but needs mega mega air. It’s all there. The acid is on point and there are crazy inner mouth confectionary aromas. This also at one point Grand Cru Chablis and at another point elite 1er Cru white burg. As this airs it gets so savory and has that chardonnay mineral sweetness one only finds in the best. Let’s see where air takes this. This wine is an exercise in restraint. It’s so classy and super subtle. As it airs out the palate is all fruit skins and huge power and depth. Still seems young.
