This was extremely promising from cask and it has fulfilled all of that promise and more. While there are signs of maturity, the nose remains sublimely complex with aromas of white flowers and citrus wrapped in a gentle hint of wood toast. There is wonderful verve to the still sappy, powerful, mouth coating and classy flavors of superb density and weight, all wrapped in a finish that delivers simply huge length. This is a big wine yet everything remains perfectly balanced, impeccably focused and at present, the finish is linear, which is unusual for such an imposing effort. In a word, extraordinary. Most of this description was written at the time of my original review yet it, in my view of course, remains spot on and about the only difference is that for my taste, one could begin to drink this now. In sum, this is a stunning Montrachet that delivers everything that one could ask for. Tasted five times in the last 4 years with consistent results save for one bottle that displayed a whiff of premox.
