Pale, bright yellow. Shows captivating perfumed lift for the vintage, offering scents of pear, lime, lemon drop, white peach, white flowers and powdered stone, plus a whiff of spicy oak; very Chassagne-Montrachet. Suave, brisk and intensely flavored but adamantly dry and even a bit austere in the early going, with citrus, crushed rock and iodiney mineral flavors dominating. Very brisk and light on its feet, especially in the context of the year, but with no shortage of sneaky intensity. Finishes with a subtle whiplash of flavor and slowly building length. Softened nicely and showed more thickness with time in the glass but I doubt I would have picked this blind as a 2015.
