  I was in a bit of a hurry to drink this, thinking it might be passing its peak soon. I could tell from the color that it's not even close to done. Still has a nice golden color with tinges of green. Beautiful moutfeel, lots of lemon, slate, and a hint of saltiness. Really delicious stuff, and it improved considerably with food. Amazing, mouth coating finish.

  Seemed a bit more advanced than the previous bottle. The maderized nose concealed the minerality for the most part. However, there was a definite flintiness in the mouth, and the wine had a nice rounded full-bodied finish.

  Wow. Just great wine. Strong saline, almost a touch salty, combined with deep, mellow notes that register as texture more than anything; a golden hue almost to amber, but paired with flinty and slatey notes - this is what I want in Chablis. The acid is nervy, the wine has a tension to it, as though it is holding a handful of disparate elements all together in perfect baalnce, but not for long. It goes without saying that a pairing of oysters to start and then seared scallops in beurre blanc was a transcendant meal.
