This bottle is in a good place. It's quite full bodied, and even tends to fat and buttery. However, it still has plenty of minerality, and a chalky/ciitrus aspect. With its texture and power it is perhaps more like a white Burgundy than a classic Chablis, but a good one. vg+

Stinky. A dominating bad smell, which I take to be reduction. This lessens over time and once you get over the smell, the wine is very pleasant. Quite different from the one I had a couple of years ago - starting to develop more mature characteristics, nicely balanced, and everything well integrated.

This seemed a bit tired and cobwebby to start with, but the pungent chardonnay fruit came through after a while, really quite powerful.

Pure chardonnay fruit, quite full bodied, chalky, clean, although the characteristic chablis pungency did appear on the finish

Pale green-gold. Quite rich and full - shellfish and citrus taste, with a delicate afterglow. Some creamy vanilla. vg+
