  Flint, oyster shell and lemon nose. Elegant, light to medium bodied, mineral and flint characters interspersed with white nectarine, an attractive and balanced acid spine. In a good place at the moment.

  Horrible, grey cork. Clearly something off.
  
  Wine has some hints of TCA you could almost be forgiven for mistaking as ageing aroma's - forest floor, stinky cheese. However, you notice it overpowering the otherwise lovely ripe white fruit. Still a delicious glass of wine. Just not entirely right.

  Very nice unoaked Chablis nose.
  Clearly a less ripe vintage, but in many ways it's refreshing having a Chablis with a good acid backbone. Perhaps not a vintage for long term cellaring but drinking very well now.

  {cork, 13%} Mid yellow/green. Odd nose, very confected and sweet-oak-smelling, with tropical fruit-salad aromas. Not the flinty chablis I was expecting. The palate doesn't oaky in flavour at least, although there might be a bit here which is adding to the slippery sort of texture. It seems oddly low in acid, is never actually sweet-tasting at least, and perhaps manages a bit more of a stoney character even though there's still lots of melon and paw-paw about the flavours. Finishes on the short side as well. I don't think age will help either. A bit of a dud, i must say.

  Attractive nose kept making me think this was quite a good wine, then with every sip the short finish reminded me that it wasn't really. Some nice fruit but lacked energy or refinement.
