I had the pleasure of drinking this again tonight thanks to Craig. I will echo my last note and just say, this always over delivers and presents such a nice drink. Always elegant and refined, bright, white peach, apple, pear, floral. 91+ to 92pts. You will have to spend at least double or more to consistently drink at significantly higher level. 91-92pts.

Plenty of toast and yeast here, more citrus, chalk, and good depth overall. Full bodied, citrus, apple peel, brioche. I will take the finesse of the Vilmart though myself.

light green gold color. Drank 1+ glass over an hour. This absolutely blew me away tonight. By far the best bottle I've had to date. This was my WOTN overall too. I loved the nose, loved the palate, it was firing on all cylinders. I thought the nose was simple intoxicating with the tangerine, orange blossom, lemon, wet stone minerality, and grapefruit edginess. The palate had incredible vibrancy, man I love 2010 Chablis, powdery fruit that hits the palate with intensity but still has this focused well delineated minerality that adds to the generous cut present. Very long finish, steely. wow, I loved this.

Light green gold color. Drank 1 glass over an hour. This was supposed to be the 2010 La Forest, but alas, we had to "settle" for the 2010 Vaillon. Certainly no slouch, this was showing more earth and some spice on the nose and palate, more citrus, mineral, youthful. Very good, need a year or two. (corrected)

Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over an hour plus. This was very good, mineral driven, great wet stone character, citrus, some earth notes, nice acids, good length. Brad thought it was meaty, but I never saw that. 91+pts.

Light gold color. Drank 1 glass over 45 minutes. Some matchstick on the nose and palate that gradually blows off leaving an immensely toasted wine on both the nose and palate, citrus fruit in the background and a good dose of stark minerals. .

Dark red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over 90 minutes. Sour cherry, pretty nose with subtle earth. The palate is medium plus bodied, cherry, wood, some heat, nice tannins and overall structure, loam, firm tannins.

Dark red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over an hour plus. This was muted and closed to start, it continued to open over 90 minutes becoming very very nice. Showing some power and depth on the nose and palate eventually - with dark fruits, plum black cherry, full bodied, a touch of heat at times, blood meal. This becomes integrated and much better after the first hour plus.

This had some slow-o time and an hour decant. Drank 1 glass over an hour plus. This was reductive initially, blows off slowly, very dark fruited, a touch of heat on the palate, anise, tobacco, firm tannins, big, but expressive. Gets better with even more air. 91 to 91+pts.

Dark red color. Slow-O for 4 hours and decanted for 45 minutes. Drank 1 glass over over 2 hours. I have to say that I loved the nose on this when I opened the bottle, and the palate showed floral notes, dried berry fruits, spice and mushroom, The palate was earthy, mushroom dried berry fruits, firm tannins and some wood spices that integrated over time. But this was much more shut down when we drank later with a grainy, FIRM character to the the tannins and a bigger fuller body than initially. 92pts on PNP, and 91pts after decanting.

first bottle was corked.

Very dark red/purple color. PNP, drank 1 glass over an hour. Plum, cassis, oak firm, wood, good acid, full bodied, some dried earth. 90+pts.

Very dark red/purple color; PNP, drank 1 glass over an hour plus. Wow, this was singing, great nose, perfumed, leather, lovely cassis and berry fruit on the nose, with the signature earthiness. The palate is equally beguiling, great balance, good fruit, medium body with elegance galore, dark fruits, cassis, raspberry, earth, fine tannins, leather, long, so nice. My red WOTN. 92+ to 93pts.

Very dark red color. PNP, the word "interesting" comes to mind, I'm not sure if it is in a good way, maybe not...lots of olive character, nose and palate, dark fruits, brodding, beef blood, green pepper, oak, full body, firm, youthful, modern.

Very dark red/purple color. Drank 1 glass over an hour. Very good, nce acid, great nose, dark and sensuous, smoke, dried red berries, new wood, fine tannins. Really nice and drinking quite well at this point.
