Community Tasting Notes 8

    November 12, 2022 - Opens with full fruit and roasted nuts, a little worryingly dark but with 20 minutes and for the next 90 min, tightens up and freshens, with sour cream dried green apple and preserves lemon. There is acid precision and density. Perfect with murgh musullam

    December 27, 2019 - What a surprise. Found in the "back" of the cellar. We didn't expect much from this but... The colour is a rich gold. Nose bursts out bright fruit, green apple, white peach. Initial tases flat but full flavoured after 45 minuted to a complex tangy fruit at the front end diminishing over a slight stewed peach to a lovely long finish. A remarkable wine that "won'" an evening of remarkable wines. Don't ever write these mature burgundies off.

    November 11, 2017 - Andre av 3 flasker. Åpner veldig gul, men strammer seg opp med luft. Etter ca 4 timer i åpen flaske er dette bare magi. Absolutt det en ønsker en chablis skal være. Frisk, bakt sitron. sjø og østers. Enorm lengde.

    July 29, 2016 - Absolutely stunning bottle. From perfect cellar. The essence of mature Chablis. Got better over a few hours in the bottle. Stunning. Les CLos 1996 tasted the year before at the winery. 97p. Perfect Chablis.
