Last of six bottles, and maybe the best one yet. This has mellowed and softened (without any loss of verve) like a good 1er Chablis (WTF for a $17 village wine). Went fabulously with steamed, shrimp-pork cabbage rolls and shrimp-shiitake mushroom sauce and fresh cilantro (I know...too much information, but the pairing was memorable). Also, good by itself, but it seems to just extract and enhance food, which always elevates my perception of any wine. 89-90 by itself, and 91+ with food.

No hurry to drink these. Still lots of bracing acidity, along with lemon, tart apples, and pears. A little bit of greenish pineapple, too. Longish finish. Punches above its weight, as it's better than some 1er cru that I've had.

This is an awesome wine, punching way above the grade of a baseline Chablis. Wonderful QPR around $17. We loved it with grilled marinated chicken tenders with pesto and pasta. Straw colored, citrus tones with peach predominant. Some mineral presence but, still, some cream as well. Truly wonderful!!
