Third bottle and consistent notes with the second one a few months ago. Again an excellent showing. The last glass in the open bottle was even drinkable the day after (after a night in the fridge). One more to go, and then I will try the 1990 which should be even better.

Was worried after the first oxidized bottle that these might all be way past, and hence eager to open the second. A pale lemon yellow. Hard to describe nose with iodine and perhaps minerals. On the palate a clean and crisp explosion of acidity with lemon and grapefruit. Dry with no sweetness whatsoever but still a good body of fruit. Unlike some of those heavily oaked Chrdonnays which are often tired and lack freshness after 5 or 6 years in bottle, this is still a fantastic Chablis at age 25!

Soft, silky, round, very quaffable, at a perfect drinking point now. Not too oaky, on the lighter side given the age.

Post CNY dinner at home (Home): Another excellent showing, consistent with previous notes. Easily the best wine of the night. 92-93
