First point, not a lot of experience with 20 year old Chablis. Pulled this one from the cellar not expecting much. Golden color, light citrus and pear on the nose. Bare minimum, fun drinking some history.
Got half way through the bottle and tossed the rest. Missed the window.

Took a bit to get going. A bit austere initially and I thought there might be some balance issues with the acidity. Not much fruit there which made the acidity stand out even more. Good and serviceable, but nothing earth shattering. Expected more, I guess. Will drink my remaining two bottles sooner rather than later.

210 NOK. Halm og sjø, litt kvann på nesen. Fyldig fast mineralsk smak, sitrus avslutning. Det er Chablis som gjelder til reker. :-)

Best of the three bottle lot. Bright and crisp. Lots of citrus on the palate. Very good to outstanding.

There seems to be more depth to this bottle than when I last tried it 2 years ago. Still very pleasant.
