From 56 year old vines planted in 1951. NOSE: Wet wool (in the best sense), lanolin, seawater, shellfish, chalk, butter, some semolina. TASTE: Medium bodied Chablis with notes of seawater, oysters and a little butter. More Semillon like with time. OVERALL: Mature 1er Cru Chablis which improved significantly with 1+ hour of air. Appeared almost over the top straight after opening but pulled together and became significantly more focused and structured after some time exposed to air. In the end it took on almost mature Hunter Valley Semillon like notes. SCORE: Went from 82-83 to 88 points with 1+ hour of air.

Slightly honeyed, yet very fresh, some depth. Decent match to oysters.

Helt ok vin, men det er en touch av våt ull her som maskerer både frukt og mineralitet i min nese. Kommer seg dog litt med luft. Drikk nå.

Drikker svært bra nå forutsatt nok luft.

Denne begynner å komme rundt. Fikk 5 timer i stor karaffel. Pen syrlighet, lime, grønne epler, noe lett floralt.
