Tasted over 2 hrs -translucent pale gold -somewhat shy waxy sea breeze citrus -med acidity, med- weight sappy steely fresh grapefruit touch of spice (cinnamon?) really opens up and gains complexity with air, good length -excellent now, no prem-ox, may be the finest of Tribut's 2010s, this bottle has more cut and focus than last 2 bottles last year

Tasted over 2 hrs -translucent light gold -subtle wet stone and lemon, sea breeze and sweet stone fruits emerge as it warms -med acidity, med weight and concentration slightly creamy, much of the primary fruit has faded but still with lemon zest on a minerally base, slight bitter edge on med length finish -probably nearing a plateau though should still improve if it picks up mature elements that add complexity

Meget lys gul farge. Masse lukter. Lukt av gress, litt karamell, smør og gule epler. Syrlig anslag. Modne gule epler. Mye gress. God fylde. Smøraktig. Relativ lang for å være hvitvin.

PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs -translucent light/med gold -very ripe bordering tropical, good minerality -med/med+ acidity, med+ concentration, sappy ripe citrus stone, moderately long finish -flirting with over-ripeness but great minerality and balancing acidity, noticeably evolving over the past year

PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs -translucent light gold -moderately aromatic with decent complexity, fading ripe fruit and some sea breeze -med/med+ acidity, med weight, focused, ripe but not over-ripe citrus and a bit of waxiness, good minerality, med+ finish, no signs of oxidation -excellent, drinking well now, stylistically a hypothetical blend of Vincent Dauvissat and Billaud-Simon, has evolved since last bottle

PopnPour, tasted over 1 hr and Day 2 -translucent nearly colorless pale yellow -somewhat reticent grapefruit, saline, lemonade -very soft initial entry then med acidity kicks in late, lighter weight that lacks depth but with a linear haunting intense shell of waxy slightly bitter grapefruit lemon with a long finish -somewhat atypical Chablis, stylistically reminiscent of Billaud-Simon, suspect this will become even more interesting over next 5 years

Another Burgundy Duo-Tribut and Courcel (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco): Most subdued nose of the 3 Tribut wines. Lush, leesy creaminess sets it apart from its mates. This is at least partially due to wood that is evident all the way through to the finish. Less fruit and Chablis typicity than the other 2 wines. In ways this reminded me of the Raveneau style. My least favorite.

New Arrival Chablis & White Burgs (Vin Vino Wine, Palo Alto, CA): Big lime, lime sherbet nose. Light to medium bodied with medium acidity. Lime, lime zest and white flowers on the palate. Great fruit density with acid lift.
