  Decanted for 1 hour. Classic nose of sea brine, iodine and citrus. Fairly ripe, showing orchard fruit mixed with chalky limestone and a lovely saline infused texture. Excellent.

  Decanted 2 hours before serving. Medium yellow with a glint of green. Some residual sulfur, iodine, kelp, and citrus aromas. Really fantastic texture for a village Chablis. The flavors are a combination of lemon, apple, and the salty sea notes with average acidity. What is different from past tastings is that any wood I noted before has been fully absorbed. All told, this leans toward a riper vintage profile. The concentration, mouth feel, and length are all exceptional for a village Chablis, and it seems to be drinking at peak now.

  Light greenish yellow. Neutral oak and sea spray aromas. Lush, ripe entry with yellow apple and pear followed by a woody finale that is reasonably saline. This just seems too round and soft, and there is no denying the heavy oak base, which is overdone for me. All of that wood gives it an unusually velvety feel but at a real cost. This is one of those Raveneau wines that veers off in a richer Côte de Beaune direction.
  
  Better the next night. More oyster shell and honeysuckle, less overrun by wood, and less ponderous.

  Sjarmerende og fruktdrevet nese med en del sekundære toner. Minner således om 12. Utrolig sjøpregret og østersaktig i munn. Sjø, skalldyr, fjellbekk. Østers, østers, østers. Perfekt fylde og konsentrasjon. Nydelig balanse mellom «kraft» (skjønt det blir et noe villedende ord) og eleganse. Harmonisk og integrert. Moden men livlig og ungdommelig. Rå friskhet. Tydelig at Chablis fra Raveneau i gode årganger trenger opp mot 10 år i kjeller.
