At eleven years old, this wine pours a mesmerizing deep golden color with long legs, no less because of the ripeness of the vintage. On the nose, the juice displays the trademark chalky characteristics supported by notes of minerals, wet stones, fresh-cut grass, plenty of tropical fruits, lemon curd, honey and oak. Still relatively primary. On the palate, the wine is full and viscous, with a weight commensurate of of Grand Cru status. While acidity is rather subdued, there is a streak of minerality in the wine to keep things fresh and interesting. Just like the nose, the wine tastes of primary notes - mostly citrus, grass, plenty of minerals, and just a touch of butter and cream in the end. The finish ends in more minerals with just a faint touch of smoke. Very complex, very fragrant and very beautiful. This is a solid bottle of Chablis.

Still showing some nice fruit through some oxidation of course. Big. Not the most complex. The best has been.

Good but this bottle was a bit more creaky than the last.

The oak has now faded. Only there merest hint of oxidation. Peachy, extracted, firm palate. A big wine. Fine.

Not even mid-gold in colour. Quality oak and yellow and green plum on the nose. Weighty yet not heavy palate. Impressive wine.
