A bit wild, a bit funky on the nose. Slightly oxidized. Apple, pear, dabs of honey, white pepper and rosemary. Really well crafted, albeit slightly unusual wine. Delicious stuff.

Bit of a funky nose for a Chablis, but still coming in swinging with that characteristic acidity. Lemon, chalk, pear, and saline on the palate. A somewhat unusual chablis, but a damn delicious one.

Still plenty of fruit on the palate—blackberries, in particular—enveloped in a robe of sunbaked garrigue and tar. Some smoky, meaty undertones. Still so fresh; I would never guess this was nearing the fifteen year mark. The tannins are nicely rounded at this stage, the acidity still so lively. Such a pleasure to drink at this stage.
