(from Chassagne fruit). Moderately firm reduction overshadows the underlying fruit today. Otherwise there is outstanding volume and power to the more concentrated bigger-bodied flavors that retain a lovely sense of refinement and particularly so on the massively persistent finish. As is sometimes the case with very young examples of Montrachet, this will need to add depth to merit the upper end of my projected range but given the extended cellaring horizon, it could very well do just that.
