  Showing its age - a bit disappointed given this is a premier cru

  I'm probably going to be opening the rest of my half bottles of this within the month to see if any still have any life. I've had about a 35% success rate - Granted, it is in half bottles, so if you've got a larger format it may still be ok, but it's going down quick.

  Much better than the last. Honey color consistent with its age. Slight oxidation but not terribly off putting. Still exhibits a fair amount of the minerality and acidity one would expect from a 1er cru Chablis from a better than average year. Still decent fruit too. For what it's worth, the half bottles aren't doing the wine any favors. Not flawed, but getting tired. Maybe it's better in 750's or mags, but I'd drink up either way.

  This one was past its prime. Second bottle in the batch...

  Full yellow. Typical oyster shell and iodine aromatics with more honey and some oxidation emerging later. Pleasant lighter weight, sound if not resounding acidity, orange peel character to the fruit. Perfectly creditable Premier Cru, but its evolution suggests it is getting long in the tooth and should be consumed.
