2016 Domaine Blain-Gagnard Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune, France 750ml

"A ripe, fresh and overtly exotic nose is composed of dried yellow orchard fruit, floral and once again, plenty of petrol character. There is good volume to the succulent and powerful medium-bodied plus flavors that possess a highly seductive texture before concluding in a lingering and compact finish where the wood treatment resurfaces. This is a deceptive wine as the mouth feel is almost oily yet the power and firm acidity make it clear that this is not only built-to-age but a wine that is going to need at least 5 or so first."
