  Just as a further data point, of course this will not change your experience.

I just opened today a '04 Preuse and was not oxed, however lacking the usual energy from a GC that I would expect. But it would be also fair to say that it did deliver ample pleasure of worthy of a very good Chablis. As for your Bougros '05, I can see that '05s must be in better shape and as I have a few of those as well, I will soon try them.(Cotes de Bouguerots) In the mean time in a few days time it will be a Montée de Tonnerre '10 which I have put in the cooler. Cheers,

My 05 Cote de Bouguerots was the second of two bottles, which were both perfect and gave a lot of pleasure, even though they were on the young side. I'll stay hopeful that my 07 and younger will show as well, but I am well aware that the pox risk is there.

As the summer approaches fast, I will start opening some of my '06 first and then see the '05 which should hold better than the former one. I may even try some of the '07 which I will keep you posted as well. Cheers,
