  Either past its prime by a long shot or oxidized. Regardless, not drinkable. Decanted for an hour to see if it rebounded, nope. Slight improvement but still nasty. Been in my cellar about 15 years. Drag. Have a few more, lets hope this was an anomaly!

  Popped and poured. These continue to be outstanding. Pretty focused nose. Crisp, deep and complex wine with lemon, minerals and a little sea salt. Great cut and length. Grand cru stuffing. Drinking at peak.

  Bought on release. A wedding year wine. Pop and pour. Drunk over several hours.
  
  First off I thankful this was not Premoxed. I've watched the color of this wine for years and it has remained good. My last '07 Fevre.
  
  A lovely mature nose. It's nutty and a little honeyed with seashells, orchard fruit, and a nice vein of chalk. Mid plus weighted with a Grand Cru sense of gravitas without heaviness on the palate with more mature nutty and yellow orchard more than citrus fruit. It's chalky and rich with beautifully balanced acidity Everything is pretty seamless and very well made. It's drinking at a beautiful, mature peak. That said it lacks a little excitement, a trait I tend to feel in Fevre's wines. Technically outstanding but lacking a little mystery to make it compelling. Still delicious and I am picking nits for sure. Terrific with a simple roasted chicken. Drink now.

  Oxidized, so not as brilliant as it could have been. However, all of the elements are still there - orchard fruit, chalky minerality, and well balanced structure, albeit a bit richer and nuttier than anticipated. Still very much alive and delicious with our meal.

  La Paulee 2023: From magnum. Haven’t had an old Fevre for a while, was commenting that I bought a bunch from HK when I was first getting into wine but they are all gone unfortunately. Still brilliant, quite big and honeyed for a Chablis but not in any way oxidised. Round citrus fruit, still had good tension despite its age.
