Remarkably elegant nose that remains youthful and fresh and even more impressively, shows nary a hint of botrytis at this point in its evolution. The flavors are round, full-bodied yet retain fine delineation for the vintage and this finishes with good delineation and fine acid/fruit balance. A terrific effort and this is still evolving.
