  1/1/2023 - Thomas D. Does not like this wine: 81 Points

  To make a long story short:
  nose ok, but tired maybe some TCA
  Taste is where the problem really starts, damaged acidity balance, whole wine tastes to much like straw and not like green gras and herbs ( which would be typical for Chablis), all very uninspiring

  Green apple and lovely citrus lemon notes in this my first Chablis for years now, mild buttery notes which I yearn for in a white wine.. and slight oak on the finish which is medium long. Guess only USD 50 and above whites have that lingering long finish! Great value for a Bourgogne ???? and I just placed another order for 3 more.. how to resist! ?? ?? Dinner with Ipoh team at Mun Choong ?? PP and E joined too.. cheers! Great recommendation from @[1|30284227|Polo] ??

  Delicate nose of golden fruit is somewhat underwhelming. Pear, golden apple, lemon, stone, honeysuckle, mango, well balanced with good acidity and soft tannins. I don’t see a lot of aging potential but it’s drinking very well now.

  For $40.00 a bottle in Vancouver, I certainly expected more.
  On nose and palate: muted notes of lemon, salt, faint minerals and light acidity....and they call it a " reserve" wine?......not offensive is the best I can say...will not buy again.

  Muted lemon peel on the nose with a more fruit forward palate. Decently structured, but lacked the acidity I like in Chablis as well as the 13.5% alcohol level coming in a little hot (especially on day 1)
