Friday, May 30, 2008 - Four French Wines with Legendary Reputations (Washington, D.C.): Pale yellow. After being open for an hour, this showed little on the nose and had a round mouth feel with a creamy, lactic quality (I would have guessed Corton Charlemagne at this point, not Chablis). No premature oxidation here. Gradually, more Chablisien characteristics of lemon oil, brine, and even mint emerged, and the wine became leaner and more focused with each pour. I've experienced the same sort of reverse evolution in young Dauvissats, and I believe this phenomenon bodes well for a wine's aging potential. From beginning to end, it had a powerful, explosive finish. Fascinating to try now, undeniable potential to be great down the road, but far too young to enjoy more than a fraction of its pleasures.
