Very young. Still showing great acidity. Still front and centre which makes me plan to hold onto my remaining bottles for another couple of years. Fairly muted on the nose but might be due to stem wear. Crisp Apple on the palate with sort of Cucumber. So clean and precise. Saline, limestone. Minerals. Citrus. This has it all. Balance, poise, depth, complexity. Super long finish. Lasted 60+ seconds.

Probably best bottle of this wine yet for me. Lots of power and complexity, but more refined than prior bottles. Nice texture and impressive mouth feel. Citrus notes. Certainly not true classical style of Chablis, with a bit more generosity than many classical Chablis producers to my palate. Dont pick up natural vibes that I’ve noticed in previous bottles. Still think this has a good life ahead.

Lots of tapenade on the palate. Classic animal funkiness was there but fairly constrained. Noticed the tannins on first taste, but then they definitely faded into the background. Dark fruits on the palate. Lots of rocks and mineral profile. Very harmonious with a nice freshness. This is fairly young, but open for business. But I see years of pleasure ahead.
