A stunning revelation and strong evidence that certain wines are much better if they were acquired at the producer and stored nearby .... (Rather than distributed through the commercial wine market)
The cellar where this wine was stored is by no means ideal with significant temperature variations between summer and winter. In this case it seems not to have mattered. Beautifully developed bouquet with that pleasing mineral component. Perfectly balanced with nice mouth feel. Long, long finish. Nothing at all to detract from this wine.
An outstanding example of a beautifully mature Chablis.

Eikepreget chablis, men likevel nokså frisk. Østers, mineraler, pen syrlighet. Nokså lang. Fyldig etter litt luft, smørtoner. Mye bedre enn den forrige flasken, som jeg virkelig ikke syntes mye om ifht prisen. Også mye bedre enn to magnunflasker av 2000-årgangen. Friskere og mer mineralsk. Håper siste flasken er som denne, og ikke som den forrige...

NOSE: green apple skin, lime zest, sweet melon, apple juice & wet stone PALATE: light fruit on the front of the palate, long, long mouth-watering finish. Good acidity. Initial finish tart, turning into popcorn, caramel apple and steel. Super steely finish.
Great wine for the value. You like butter and oak? Go back to Cali. But if you are looking for a great clean, steely, mineral driven, zesty, French Chard, this is it. Nice Chablis.

From magnum. Golden color. Fully mature. Full and round fruit with marks of cream and cheese. A bit to flabby for my taste.

Beste flasken av de jeg har hatt. Mineralsk og småfet.

very disappointing. To much acid, oaky, and overall not very good. Will try to forget my two remaining bottles for a few years...

A strong taste of oak in this bottle that I did not find in the last two weeks ago. Oysters, mineral, yellow plum, nice acidity.
