April 19, 2024 - This was a pop and pour. There is a notable herbal note that persists even as it opens up. That said, there is a good bit of tension and pleasing fresh citrus fruits of pears, green apples, and candied lemon peels along with saline, flint, pithy notes, as well as crushed rocks. The Medium bodied feel is fresh and lively with tart, medium+ acidity. This shows off its class as it fights past what the vintage gave. There is that bit of herbal streak that borders on underripe and actual tension, but this is a fun Chablis that hits the notes you want, but without that extra gear.
