Glad I held on to this bottle for the extra 3 years. While I noted the same tasting profile, notes of salinity, minerals, lemon on the palate on another fruit I couldn't identify. Was very good with, and without the food we prepared. Unlike when I last drank in 2019 it has definitely come together in a beautiful, seamless wine.

Tasted over 2 hrs -translucent pale gold -subtle moderately ripe bit of spice -barely med acidity, med weight moderately ripe though bitter mineral and spice elements predominate -not over-ripe but definitely lacking the energy and vibrancy of higher acid vintages

ALTRA BORGOGNA; 1/16/2016-6/6/2016: ( 12 mesi di acciatio e poi 6 di barrique usate). Frutto primario, gelatine al miele e poi erbe di prato, finocchietto e anice. E' molto soffuso e poco esplosivo, si intuisce un nucleo pulsante incatenato dalla gioventù che non riesce ad esprimersi. In bocca è generoso, bassa acidità, polposo e dal finale ammandorlato quasi amaro. Classico Chablis di riva sinistra più facile, rotondo e fruttato.

Raid Len's Cellar #11: Floral, orange, meal, stonefruit and light undergrowth. Palate has good acidity initially and it works well with the grain character. Good texture and while it finishes a touch broadly, I quite like it.

The nose is all salty sea breeze with a drizzle of honey. In the mouth it is dry, piercing and crisp. There are citrus fruits and a huge puff of chalk on the finish.

Drank together w 2011, whivh actually was fresher and a lot more vibrant. This 2013 had gone plump and heavy, although there still was fruit left

Decent chablis, but not awesome. Definite notes of salinity, minerals, lemon on the palate. Good acid. Best with food.

A bit of reduction on the nose, quite ripe fruit notes, mineral and saline. Intense and layered on the palate, mineral. Good length. 89-90+
