  Pale straw in color, some orchard fruit, lemon and oranges, not an overwhelming sea breeze thing, ripe year with correct acidity, drinking well, ready for business.

  Chez SC: lemon, rich, well balanced, in line with the Forest 05 of Dauvissat tasted half an hour earlier. The Dauvissat wines of 2005 are very good, not too rich and fresher compared to the 2006.

  Chicago Wine Flock...Winefool Serving Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Mostly Burgundy (Hughes House - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind.Apple, pear with some lemon peel. Good concentration and balance, even if moderate weight. I correctly identified this as the younger Burgundy, but did not think the pair was Chablis, with more ripe "2005" character front-and-center.

  Winefool Intro/Retro (Chez Winefool): Served blind. Pale gold in color. Medium nose is understated in the line-up -- melons, lighter orchard fruit and lemon zest. After the reveal, I was clearly getting seashells on the nose too, but who knows if that's just a psychological effect. The palate is lean and a tad astringent with lots of acid relative to the lighter fruit profile. Picked this out as one of the younger wines, but missed Chablis -- though it was screaming Chablis, in hindsight. I under-ranked this. My #5, Groups #3.

  Last bottle. Full, deep yellow. Quite a bit different than a bottle tasted about 6 months ago. Much richer and rounder with orange tinged fruit and a mouth feel that suggests clay as opposed to limestone. With time and air, it gains more iodine, saline, structure, and focus as Dauvissat wines often do, but it never reaches that optimal point of excitement and tension between the components. Fully mature at this point.
