89 Points

Friday, September 13, 2013 - Full bodied, with outstanding tipicity; perfectly balanced at this point in time, and should last a while under proper storing condition given that it's got a screwtop. Nose is muted, but palate is very rich, with understated notes of honey, apple skin, pear and baked apple; the honey kicks in at the front end, but then the acidity washes it out in the middle, with seltzer notes through the lemon rind-leaning finish; ends very nicely, almost off-dry yet fully dry, with lingering fruit and notes of apple skin. Salty dishes will enhance the relative sweetness, while sweeter dishes with mellow it out. Best out of Chablis glasses, and at room temperature. Outstanding QPR. 12.5% ABV. 88-89
