At Noreetuh in NYC. Having bought and cellared a 1/2 case of these at Crush 15 years ago, this is actually the first bottle I have opened (having sold or given away all the others). Very typical aged GC Chablis with unripe apples, citrus, burnt almonds, honey, wax, and gobs of slate/minerals. Acid remained prominent and worked well with the Asian-flavored seafood. Secondary flavor profile abounds here. While I appreciate the added layers and dimension of aged (GC) Chablis, they evolve differently than CdB white burgs and some flavors are slightly off-putting (for me), giving the sense that these wines are always just on the edge of going somewhere bad. Honestly, I continue to enjoy younger PC level Chablis wines more for their freshness and lazer focus. Yes, I may be a philistine, but what can I say?

(Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots) Light yellow color; high pitched, green chile nose; medium bodied, ripe lemon, mineral palate with a strong green note, like Padron chilies, that wasn't there when I tried it earlier in the year; medium-plus finish (seems like the cursed '04, late onset Burgundy green meanies have claimed another victim)

amber, almost orange color. Abnormal sweet taste. Premox.

Winefool Going Away Party and Cellar Depletion (Jack's Bistro - Chicago IL): Several bottles were opened. The one I tasted was well past its "drink by" date.
