  Acker "Paulee" Burgundy Dinner (Capital Seafood - Beverly Hills CA): Paulee style dinner. Fully mature, still interesting.

  Ripe stonefruit, honey and caramel
  Hazelnut, butter
  Iodine, Saline minerality(aging chablis's character)
  Sous-bois, wet wool
  Good mid-palate and finish
  Compared to matured, the smell of fruit was alive and there was no oxidation.

  From an excellent looking bottle from a highly reputable cellar, this wine had a deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose was rather quite at first but kept improving hour after hour. Eventually, it showed citrus, almond paste, apples, and tan spices.
  
  This wine was rather watery in the mouth at first. However, after a few hours of air the wine firmed up nicely to show crisp acidity and excellent length.
  
  While this wine was not wildly complex in the mouth, it had a great nose and that refreshing acidity that only Chablis can offer. A great showing for this Premier Cru from an average year!

  Raveneau Grand and 1er Crus '83-'91, Ross Bott Tasting (Tom's in Palo Alto, CA): Signs of development in the roast parmesan/coppery elements. But good exotic citrus meets truffle in an antique room is there too. An interesting antique note and I even jotted down the crazy descriptor “European armpits” which was apt with its heady musty funk (in a good way). Better on the palate than on the nose, with lovely layers of white truffle and frozen shaved metal.

  The day before the big Zind Humbrecht dinner (Raleigh, NC): Light yellow, this wine drinks younger than it's 17 years would suggest. Stones, minerals, lemons and honey with a long finish. Very nice. 50+12+12+8+8 = 90
