Deep gold, nose is almost semillon like with wax and orange zest. The palate is loose, it glides across the palate, with wet hay and wet rocks, a light honeycomb note. It lacks a certain degree of persistence or concentration nevertheless it represents mature yet fresh Chablis that I would gladly drink any time.

YIKES! And I just re-upped my Burghound subscription. This is pretty awful. INSANE ACIDITY, and lemon curd. Not very nice-will it come around, is there extreme bottle variation? Selling my other bottles.

Lemon yellow with citrus and pear. Very traditional Chablis that will benefit from 3-4 years of cool cellar temps (decanted for 2 hours with notible improvement). Drank with a meal starting with raw oysters, Arugula and Pear Salad with a lemon-dijon dressing, and grilled halibut. No regrets here.

Tasted again with consistent notes: razor sharp acidity, but the back end falls apart completely. Food helps, but not enough for me to seek out more bottles. Salud!

A very pale yellow color. Nose is wet stone and talc. A very light style with higher acidity, and flavors in waves: lemon > pear > white nectarine. Refreshing and easy . . . makes me wish I had a pile of oysters to go with it! Salud! POSTSCRIPT: The longer this wine was open, the weaker it seemed to get. By the end of the bottle, it was thin, thin, thin. I'm revising my initial 88 down to an 85.

Very buttery, smooth, crisp. It was deep -- not a light wine. Very rich. Served with swordfish -- this was a wonderful wine for this meal, with corn and tomatoes. Superb summer fare.

So Burghound gives this wine 90-92 points and a good review. Vaynerchuck disses it completely, giving it 75 points and calling it something like thin lemon water (I'm paraphrasing since I really don't want to have to watch WineLibrary TV any more than I have to). Putting aside the silliness of points, it's the disparity between the two opinions that is interesting. Credit to Gary for ripping a wine that he sells (but, on the other hand, perhaps its a wise tactic for a retailer to occasionally slam a wine that he sells, thereby adding at least the impression of disinterest or "credibility"), but I think Gary got this one wrong. Gary tasted it along with a bunch of New World whites, so perhaps that affected his palate. In any event, that context aside, I liked this wine. There is an initial burst of sweet-sour tangy acidity that makes the mouth wake up. The entry is clean and pure, with the impression of fresh water more than sea water, and a touch of Chablis wooliness in the back. Good acidity, but could use more definition. I found it difficult to not sip this wine. Not the most complex wine, but it's quite drinkable and quite satisfying, especially at this pricepoint.

Oxidized... Bought on sale @ Dan Murphys and certainly expected more for a $25 bottle.
