2011 Beaune Greves

Here the beautifully fresh nose is attractively floral with its attractive mix of white orchard fruit and softly oaky aromas. There is a touch of anise to the appealingly delineated and overtly stony flavors that possess fine intensity on the dry, serious and mildly austere finish. This displays good balance and the mid-palate fat is such that this should be approachable young yet repay 4 to 6 years of cellar time as well. Tasted: Jun 15, 2014. Drink: 2016+
