  April 13, 2024 - EYE^ Perfect clarity to look at. This is one increment lighter in color than a Chablis 2018 Bel Air et Clardy immediately preceding.
  NOSE^ The smell is a suggestively savage instrument. I gather a brew of almonds and roots, roiled with mint and twine. Cinnamon/chili; mussels; steaming southern biscuits; gravel.
  MOUTH^ The first liquid drink is confrontational. Properly vitigenic and searing acidity triggers a saline response. Muscular white fruit of pristine clarity reverberates fossil bone structure. The event aims deliberately toward a finish of bitterly appetizing vegetal scar—iodine, marble grit, mentholated lemon smash. It's big, yet grippy and austere in texture.
  TIME^ Development: clarity and sweetness gather as the bottle yields. The bouquet digs its heels in, to offer blanched resins, birch bark, greengage, and Champagne.
  STANCE (Cressbeckler style)^ I opened this bottle, vintage 2018, in 2024, well before it obtained its most accomplished expression. The wildness it exemplified four years ago is *almost* modulated enough now to appeal to an unmotivated, broad-minded, and discriminating observer. Naive bliss, stomping baby goat energy: 92-100. Appointed manners and precision: 90. Weighted avg. 91.

  February 5, 2024 - A little bit natty on the nose on open - give it time to blow off if that is not your thing.
  
  After a good amount of air, this wine really pops. Fresh acidity with a core of orchard fruit, spice and herbs. A thick, creamy texture leads into a long finish.
