  Really beautiful Chablis, in a great spot. Balanced, elegant with citrus and mineral character, but age has softened it a bit. In my opinion this is even more interesting, and more pleasing, than it was a few years ago. Softness suggests it may be on the downslope, so I plan to finish my remaining bottles now, while it is still outstanding. As expected, paired well with veal Milanese, linguine vongole and shrimp scampi.

  The color is lighter compared to the bottle I opened in February. Intoxicating, intense nose of lemon juice, sea salt and wet stones. Broadens out on the palate with intense marks of green and yellow fruit, brine and stones. There’s also a good dose of spices in the mix. This is rolling out now, with volume and complexity. As good as it gets at this level I think. Textbook Chablis.

  Consistent with my last note, although I agree with others that this does seem to have evolved a bit. I didn’t give it as much air as I probably should have. Very nice Chablis.

  On the move, color has turned to medium yellow. Some evolution on the palate, more relaxed now, though still with notes of wool, lemon and stony fruit. Has gained in complexity, shows more complexity with marks of Asian spices on the back. Lovely, classic Chablis.

  Tasted over 2 hrs
  -translucent pale gold-green
  -lemon wet rock
  -high acidity, med- weight all lemon and stony minerality, good length
  -licking lemon juice off a rock, classic Dauvissat structure with the blazing acidity of the vintage, this is quite remarkable - still fresh no oxidation no overt mature elements only the fading fruit belies its age
