  Freaky...last had this wine...2 yrs ago, to the DAY! A random selection...this has happened to me before?!?! Que the Twilight Zone music! This Chablis is drinking beautifully.....much more open than the last time...fresh and crisp, mineral laced green apple, pear, lime fruit..chalky saline, sea mist, cucumber, and even some tobacco and honey. Showing good Fourchaume funk...all in a crisp and clean feel. That funky bullet cork seems to be doing its job as well! Need to find more of these....

  Rather disappointing. At this price, one should not have to strain or "coax" anything from "hiding." The wine is overrated.

  Surprised by the bullet-like layered plastic cork? Green tinged color, very shy nose of lemon water and stones. Light and delicate entry...not much going on, but does have a clean and refreshing feel. With some coaxing....the lemon/lime citrus acidity, flint, chalky saline come out...but still "lite". Seems like it's in there...just hiding. What decides to peek out is gorgeously clean, yet totally Chablis. Nice green apples, melon, some peach....little spicy tobacco, honey, and classic, yet faint, sea shell funk. I like this wine....but might need a few years to show its all. Could be grand! ++pts
