A "cult" wine tasting and lunch (Restaurant Bak, Amsterdam, NL): Light and slightly loose structure, still fresh and bright with a lovely aromatic evolution, wonderfully floral nose reminiscent of a light Auslese - ripe yellow apple and flowers, lovely cut, gentle bitters, good length. On fine form, fully mature.

Immediately after pop and pour this is singing like Bocelli. The nose is seriously generous and expressive: lemon with a hint of honey, very appropriate oak, roasted nuts and some smoke. Borderline haunting aromatics, really hard to stop sniffing. On the palate it has great concentration and a level of ripeness that just hits the bullseye for me. There is very good acidity and this tension that make it immensely drinkable and enjoyable with a lip-smacking sensation on the finish. Firmly textured yet rich in a way that quite few Chablis are. Very persistent on the finish, just goes on and on, and wonderfully savory and saline. Nothing less than a superb bottle.

PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Fruit” day): Medium straw golden to the eyes.
Reduction upfront that blew off. Minerality that one can nose - Oyster shells, florals. Pure citrus fruits.
Precision on palate with great acidity and minerality. Good fruit support. Dash of spice. Very good length with a toasty finish. Enjoyable
94-95 points.

même commentaire que le précédent. Sinon, peut-être ajouter que le boisé est parfaitement intégré.
