See previous notes for the varied experiences I've had with this wine. This bottle was back on the more exotic and ripe fruits spectrum--wild apples, touch of pear, starting to soften and get a bit broad, lacking more classic Chablis notes. Didn't all quite work tonight.

Magnum. Wow what a difference the larger size makes (vs 750 of several weeks ago). This was phenomenal--fresh, deep, haunting seashells aroma and so pure on palate. Even in larger size is this is at peak.

Two years later and a different bottle, wow. Superb. Fresh, energetic, elegant. Really lovely wine with balance between chalky minerality and citrus. Altogether lovely and pure.

After being decanted: freshly-squeezed lemon and ground rocks. The wine then became very savory - toasted nori, pine needles -, more so than a bottle 18 months ago, with a wide taste that expanded in the mouth and a long finish. A play on bitterness. From memory, I think I preferred the nose on my last bottle but overall this bottle was more haunting.

Terrific wine endowed with elegance, rich fruit and wonderful acidity on the palate, and a crisp fresh finish.
