July 16, 2018 - I am heading to Chablis shortly, so I decided to pop this nearly 13 year-old wine in preparation. I originally bought four of these bottles from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) for a pittance. I should have known: two of the first three bottles were bad--oxidized and virtually undrinkable. This fourth bottle? Certainly oxidized, but not as badly as the other two. In fact, as the wine warmed, this wine became decidedly better. While not completely "fine" this is exhibiting some of the characteristics that one would expect from an older Chablis: enhanced minerality, richness of flavors, a subtle nuttiness. I like it. I do. But it is not what it should be and I have to toss it on to the growing heap of oxidized white Burgs. thedrunkencyclist.com

February 8, 2015 - The one from last night was over the hill, or very nearly so. Flabby. I'll try another one this evening to see if this is bottle variation or just a wine maturing much more quickly than we'd have thought. Oh well.

July 4, 2014 - There is a lot of bottle variation with this. One was very acidic, another wonderful in its balance, this one seems like it has some kind of flaw I can't pinpoint. Not bad, and not oxidized at all, but it's funny how each bottle has been different. When you get a good one, though, it's lovely.
