Dinner with the St. Louis Crowd et al. (St. Louis, MO): From magnum. This was a little lacking in fizz but more than made up for it with its lean, mineral profile. The acidity was incredibly fresh, and if it weren't for some mushroom and secondary characteristics, I would have guessed this to be a fair bit younger (1996?). At the end of the day, this tasted a bit more like a medium-aged white Burgundy with a splash of bubbles.

Chablis les Clos (18 bottles) at the Lieu-dit Cru Blind White Burgundy Dinner (L2O - Chicago IL): Magnum. Lemon and green apple aromas. Similar on palate with lots of lemon, lemon peel and some apple as well, lots of energy start-to-finish, Clean, long, precise finish. Still very fresh, very "1988."

From a magnum; This was just short of being a WOW wine with a beautiful balance of acidity and aged champagne flavors. Lovely.

From magnum. Fresh and crisp apple aromas, slightly floral. Great fruit, great acidity on plate. Long and elegant.
