Appearance: straw yellow
Aroma: citrus blossom, pear and apple, toasty hazelnuts and spices
Palate: medium weight with classic dryness. mineral forward rather than citrus fruit. complexity with layers of palates. integrated and fine acidity. lingering and long finish with floral perfume.

A future it lies at an affordable price. This is so enjoyable at the young age and shall be delightful until the end of this decade. I like the way acidity balance with layers of spices and elements, and not overwhelmed by fruit palate. The concentration as well as aromas are there. A classy white Burgundy that is worth an experience. Personally, the toasty hazelnuts aroma was a charming dimension when sniffing. Love it.
