Last minute gathering - Masseto, 82 GL, 85 HB and etc. (The George Town Club - DC): Rich bright golden color. Medium expressive fully mature nose displaying sweet yellow fruit, apricot yellow peach, honey, a hint of mint, oyster jus, dry shitake and limestone. Fully integrated palate, subtle sweet yellow fruit, round and warm, medium acidity, medium mineral and a medium long sweet subtle yellow fruit driven finish with a hint of mint at the end. Despite from a 50 degree cellar with almost perfect fill, this is a bit past its prime. Still enjoyable with a lot of tertiary notes and mint.

(François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux) Group's #6 (my #8) – 90 pts.; 0, 3, 4, 2 – rich light golden color; big, earthy, oaky, VA, penetrating nose with sulfur and kerosene; better on the palate than on the nose, though oxidized, with a narrow, earthy lemon profile and less acid than most of the others; medium finish

Lovely old-school Chablis that's still hanging on and delivering the goods.
