Burghound's note pretty much nails it. Pretty saline and sea shell notes are contrasted against lush dark citrus-toned fruit with a prominent bitter element. Tangerine, quinine and algae notes are the baseline here, with an underlying marzipan/ honey note that I often pick up across Tribut's lineup. A little light on cut, this shows fresh, bright acids up front, but they sort of lose steam towards the middle and finish. I get the bitter lemon note on the finish that Meadows notes, but with air it gains a tangy orange zest element on the extended portion. Good juice, though I don't know that I'm running out to buy more over the village Chablis in this vintage.
Very Good - Drinking well now

@WMWG's note is accurate. Enjoyable, but may be declining. Based on this bottle, time to drink up.

Un Chablis facile d'approche, typique du millésime. Une pointe de chaleur et de richesse qui pourrait s'intégrer avec le temps. Déjà très bon.
