Mine, accidentally left in car for 2 hours in Atlanta heat, cork protruding and some seepage- damn, after a couple hours in blast chiller I felt this was not showing heat damage (same can't be said if I decided to open this months/years later); pale yellow color; leesy nose, rich, almost biscuity, apple custard, mineral in background, white flower, marzipan; fierce acid on palate, very good for vintage, good fat and mineral, green and golden apple along with some lemon zest, long finish, nice mid-palate, lazer like acid cuts right down mainstreet; very solid; didn't pick up the chalkiness or tidal pool but rarely do for Chablis of this level at such a young age.

Pale crimson rose, see through; reduced a bit, smoky, strawberry, sexy nose, high acid, mineral, high acid, some sweetness and slight candy leads me out of Burgundy though this is well done; honestly thought this was '14 Oregon.
