  • Some Wine Tasted at the Acker La Paulée Auction (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Tasted at auction. Mostly mature orchard fruit with faint earth. Good weight and length. Time to drink up.

  • PnP from a perfectly stored bottle since release. Very pale color especially considering the age. Delicious and rather ethereal in it's light and airy disposition out of the gate. Lemon, green apple, almonds and baked goods are all here and give a hint of what is yet to come. There is a fatty textural smoothness that is perfectly balanced by just the right amount of acidity. The longer this is open the more saline notes emerge on the finish and the wine keeps putting on textural weight. 45 minutes in, and now this is really humming. More intensity on both aromatics and flavors, with greater mouth grip on the mid palate and the finish. More tropical nuances, pineapple and starfruit come to mind, more sea air than chalk, but throughout this is insanely balanced. Mouth watering and oh so smooth - it's hard to put the glass down. The drinking experience is not dissimilar to a good Corton Charlie. I can't see how this can get better but hopefully bottles in this condition will continue at this level for a while. Simply glorious.

  • Very pale. Nose of lemon curd and toast. Reminiscent of a Hunter semillon rather remarkably. Taut. Fine and long.

  • @ Seamore's Brookfield NYC. Fortunately bottle is in perfect condition. Now a deep gold in color, this had a lot of weight and gravity but retained fruitiness and steeliness, with a blossoming honeydew note emerging with 30 minutes of air. A very nice expression of Clos - wouldn't wait too much longer on this one.

  • Citrus, orange blossom, pastry, croissant on the nose. Fairly rich mouthfeel, opens into stone fruit, tree fruit, with MLF flavors. Really nicely balanced, was rounded PnP but opened up beautifully. Fairly complex and developed with Belgian waffles and syrup. Dry and long finish. Very solid Chablis, near peak/peaking now. 92-93

    (Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos) From magnum - light yellow color; ripe lemon, almond, sweet green herb nose; ripe pear, sweet green herb, mineral palate; medium-plus finish (probably in a "dumb phase," at least from magnum)
