2004 Chevalier Montrachet

This is gorgeously pure and incredibly focused aromatically with an incredible breadth of aromas, from white flower to ripe orchard fruits nuanced by a panoply of spice notes. The unbelievably intense flavors are deep and strikingly transparent yet the level of dry extract this enjoys is nothing short of remarkable. The crystalline finish doesn't just end but rather its ends with one complex wave after another and the sense of energy and drive here is palpable. Flat out terrific.
