September 18, 2022 - Sunday Lunch with Raveneau Chablis and Chave Hermitage (Piccino Restaurant, San Francisco): Healthy yellow color. A weird but highly aromatic mix of honey and grapefruit. As odd as it sounds, the nose reminded me more of Riesling or Sauvignon than Chablis. By far the roundest, most glycerine wine of the flight. A touch of exotic fruit (pineapple), then driving acidity and real soil. The juxtaposition of all of these elements was jarring, and they have certainly not integrated at 21 years of age. A crazy quilt, as atypical as the 2004 is classic.

June 10, 2020 - Lemon zest, exuberant aromatics. Needs 1-2 hours to build weight on the palate, then real heft and substance.

August 9, 2019 - Some bruised, ripe, slightly botrytis aromatics. Weightless palate.

May 16, 2019 - Great Grand Cru Burgundy Dinner with Friends (S.K.Y. Restaurant - Chicago IL): Served alongside the glorious 2005. Open 45 minutes before serving and decanted because of some odd aromas. This never fully came around, with my thinking it stuck in a state of reduction and David thinking it slightly oxidized! Still, tasty and enjoyable.

November 17, 2018 - From Paris with Love, 2018 Edition; 11/16/2018-11/18/2018 (Paris (Girafe, La Tour D'Argent & Epicure)): A great wine especially when sourced from a pristine cellar like the one at La Tour D'Argent, Paris.
But one needs to like the style of this oldie and we have to admit we prefer them younger and more fresh. Honey touches, tertiary fruit, well evolved, still citrus and flinty touches. We will not rate as our palate preferences would not reflect the real value of this albeit we did not rate it badly at all! ( for us it was a 93 for Andreas 95 for Nicoletta but we were split a lot about it)1 person found this helpful Comment
