  Tonight w/ pan seared halibut. Nita comments, "oh you're opening the good stuff tonight". Yep, as I groan how this ramped up significantly in cost since I last paid $76 for it. Maybe the only negative to being a Burgundy lover is that eventually you have to part ways with heavily chased producers like Dauvissat. I believe I saw a Forest offer this past week for $200. And its worth it, if you can afford the tariff. I can't, but what a wonderful btl this was tonight! Dauvissat's consummate balance is beyond reproach. The first sips would easily give this away in a blind tasting. There's such harmony between the fruit and its acidity. Then the mineral, salinity and other harmonics kick in. Delighted to share this tonight w/ Nita who sometimes doesn't see my best bottles. Always that conflict between sharing w/ my wife of 45rs & my buddies who might ooh & ah a bit more :) Fantastic tonight b4, during & after dinner at our dinner table as our lovely MN spring colors kick in outside our kitchen windows. Nirvana! 13%alc 95+ One left. Playlist; Gary Louris of the Jayhawks solo Vagabonds album, Gram Nash's early demos, Cat Stevens's Tea For The Tillerman, Steely Dan's Can't Buy A Thrill & early Neil Diamond.

  A beautiful Chablis, very classic with amped up intensity and so much oyster shell. This has developed nicely since I last popped one almost 2 years ago. Crystalline lemon fruit, small touch of honey, framed by a shell fish nose, so much oyster and all kinds of chalky seafood goodness. Entering drinking window and will hold for many years to come no doubt.

  Riper on the nose and palate than I would have expected. Very unexpected buttery popcorn on the palate which threw me off for a loop initially. Ripe stonefruit and pears, quince, butter and oak spices. The ripeness really stood out to me here as I was expecting more Chablis like characteristics (minerality).
