Once again there is a smoky character to the expressive nose that blends notes of white flowers, poached pear and citrus confit. As is usually the case, the middle weight flavors are not as dense as those of the straight Chassagne but they're noticeably finer with excellent delineation that is also the case with the bone-dry, chiseled and linear finish. This nicely balanced effort could use better depth so at least some aging is in order. 89-92 Points, Outstanding Top Value Allen Meadows, Burghound
