This may not be a wow wine but it’s pretty damn good. The colour is very good light gold, I knew the bottle was fine straightaway. Nose is light honey and chamomile. the palate is fresher with citrus and sea shells - very Chablis. This is as good or better as some of the 2010s - I dont think it has transformed into something great with age but holding up great.

Six months after last bottle of this and experience was almost exactly the same (even that same sulfurous nose). Think these should be drunk now, over next 2-3 years as there's no upside here.

At first I was a bit suspicious (sulfur on the nose, taste was a bit fat), but with about 45 of air this opened nicely. Definitely a richer year without being particularly fruity but kept balance, nice creamy texture on finish, mineral yet without usual seashells notes. Drink now or over next few years.

Showing great, if more reticent this time. Ethereally balanced and silky on the palate, honeyed white truffle, orange blossom. Yum
