"Brilliant green tinged gold color with quite reticent aromas of cinnamon, honey and lemon followed by flavors that are quite firm, even borderline hard. It's the quality of the finish though that really forcefully communicates that this is far from an ordinary wine; it's both subtle and discreet yet remarkably complex - in short, breed personified. Classic young Montrachet in style, revealing little yet this is somehow still riveting in its own fashion. The quality of the underlying material is undeniably superb. . ."
