  December 8, 2018 - My girlfriend loved this. I thought it was spectacular, well balanced, very complex. It still tasted fresh and could probably have lasted many more years in the cellar. However, I doubt it would improve and so, to anyone who may still have it, open and enjoy in good company.

  December 25, 2017 - From a pristine bottle, this wine had a yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose put forth wax, fennel, lemon, apple, and some soil.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was ripe with nice acidity lurking under the glycerine. It was a bit watery at first but firmed up nicely with air to have very good length.
  
  While I still do not find the nose of Fevre’s wines to be particularly attractive, overall, this was still fun to drink. It was in the zone and will last for 5-10 years. Enjoy!

  July 9, 2017 - From a pristine bottle purchased on release, this wine had a deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose put forth lemon, over-ripe pear, vanilla, and some white stone.
  
  In the mouth, this was rich and ripe with attractive fruit and solid acidity. It was ripe enough that it took quite some time for the acidity and minerals to show themselves in a noteworthy way. Not surprisingly, this was best after 5+ hours of air.
  
  This had the typical Fevre style with its super-ripe quality. However, extended aeration helped this wine as the improving acidity helped offset the extreme ripeness.
  
  This wine is drinking now and it will continue drinking well for at least a decade. My guess is that it will probably not get a lot better, only different with time.

  March 3, 2017 - Great shape after 18 yrs!!! Gem of a GC chablis. Fevre rarely messes up. Sadly second last bottle from case of 12. Bravo!

  December 31, 2015 - Old gold in the decanter, a little lighter in the glass, but still full straw. Saline, mineral, iodine nose. Intense. Wonderfully grippy attack, dry, saline, lots of bite wrapped in properly grand cru density. Long saline finish. Super. ****1/2
