There's something kind of reassuring about sticking your nose in a glass of wine and getting back the exact notes you were expecting to get. There's a really pretty soft green apple, with a little touch of ripe pear, and then a little slice of lemon on top of the whole thing, with just soft and light spice note buried down deep. The palate is clean and delicious, exactly what you want it to be. There's a good level of acidity, and the fruit is all really nice. There's more apple and pear, with a really nice splash of lemon, and a very slightly spiced finish. The palate is mid-rich with a really nice mouthfeel and overall good weight. This is a crazy amount of wine for just $18, and for people who think that Burgundy doesn't have any good values, I point at this most expressively with both hands.
