  Don & The Shrimpheads (Craig & Nita's Place): Light medium gold plus color. Drank a glass over an hour plus in mini vertical of '05, '10, and '12. This was in good shape, while showing the development that one would expect. There's sea air, red apple, parafin, sea air, lemon, caramel and beeswax on the nose. The palate has a little sense of melancholy compared to the riveting '10 and flamboyant '12. There's lots of orange, lemon, oyster shell, ocean floor, on sleek, medium bodied, if mellow palate. I think the only question here, is where do you like them best. 93+ to 94pts.

  Local Minneapolis Chef extraordinaire Don Saunders cooked for 8 Shrimpheads at my place. We highly recommend hiring Don to cook for in home events! Siggy's btl. This has reached a resolved tranquil place with no hard edges. Very Dauvissat with its roundness. Elegant ripe citrus, mineral & sea-shore notes. CT says I still have one left but I'm doubtful since it's not in my cabinet and I'd be surprised if its offsite yet. Great to find Siggy's btl healthy & pleasurable! This was a PnP and worked fine for this btl. Flighted by itself with our 1st salmon course. A 10 & 12 Dauvissat Preuses followed in the next flight with Halibut.

  Another bottle of this really pleasurable wine.
  Decanted for 20 minutes to the first glass but the wine continued to open. The color was a clear, medium yellow-gold. Lemon and some minerality on the nose. The medium bodied palate showed lots of lemony goodness and minerality, followed by some green apple and touches of salinity and lemon pith -- all wrapped in balancing acidity. Will no doubt continue to hold to the two-decade mark and beyond but expect increasing signs of maturity.

  Last of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, top form as Jan bottle, superb typicity, tightened nicely in glass but with richness of GC and top vintage, still upside, 5+ years. VF (18.5)......and better in this vintage than Clos!

  Five years since our previous bottle (8/4/18) and while this wine has mellowed a bit (haven't we all) it still presented itself as a top-notch Grand Cru Chablis.
  Opened for 20 minutes before serving but continued to evolve. A complex and rich medium plus bodied palate with apple, lemon, salinity, minerality and balancing acidity. Just a pleasure to drink and enjoy. Will probably hold for another five years but why wait?!
