87 Points
Saturday, January 27, 2018 - Crémaillère chez Oana et Adam (Saint-Bruno): Vin riche, rond que je voyais en appellation régionale bourguignonne, en 2015. C’est agréable mais au dévoilement très décevant vu le cru et le millésime. Le manque de tension est surprenant pour un 2014. 87 pts
Est-ce la fatigue du palais, suite à la série de rouges? Je l'avais mieux goûté en mars 2016 aux Grands Jours de Bourgogne.

I am drinking from a bottle that's been open for about a week and it now shows the power and tension one should expect from a young Chablis from a great vintage. A delicious but strange wine in that it did come across as light. I think your first assessment at 91 points is correct.
