  Nose is great with some flint - a little fat for a Chablis but great for the price point.

  This wine is drinking perfectly now, much better than any of the tasting notes that I have read. While it is an atypical chablis , with more tropical notes and golden color and flavors, it is incredibly clean and smooth. I love it! When Robert Parker rated it when it was young, he didn't like it (87), but it has matured into a fabulous wine!

  Kids' play-date at Alex and Fiona's (Alex and Fiona's in AMK): Just a touch oxidative, when threw me off a little. Otherwise, this was very solid - quite a classic Chablis with barely a nod towards the ripeness of the vintage. The nose had shades of browned apples and honey which reflected the wine's rather prematurely golden hues, but there were more characteristic whiffs of chalk and citrus coming up under that. Likewise, there were shades of browned pears and apples on the palate, but these too were underpinned by a lovely juicy lemony core, all tied together with a flinty, minerally inseam that led into a wonderfully neat, precise finish. Very nice depth for a Chablis 1er Cru here, perhaps the only hint of the warm vintage. With time though, the honeyed tones receded and more and more of the citrus and mineral tones came out. Good stuff, and it should continue getting better over the next few years too - if it can outrun the shadow of premox that is.

  Slightly oxidative with chrysanthemum like finish. Clean palate.

  Semi-mature notes with yellow apples and vegetable notes (but not green). Creamy and smooth. Quite fresh but with lower acidity than you expect from chablis, but I guess it's the vintage talking. Will drink my remaining bottles quite soon.
