Tasted at the Winery - Library tasting. Last tasted in 2014, it has evolved very nicely. This vintage was lightly affected by some botrytis which added great texture. Seems quite Chassagne-Montrachet-like. Nose and Palate have just a little oakiness, a touch of butter/cream (not from Malo as it was blocked), melon, lemon, nice acidity and depth of flavor. The nose is gorgeous with florals like honeysuckle and with some air a little butterscotch. Really delicious, if any criticism I would have liked the finish to be longer. By no means old tasting and stored well will likely last another 5 years at least.

Drank awesomely. Very lean and great acidity. Lemon peel, crushed oyster, a bit of warming spice at the end. Drinks sorta like a good Chablis in a colder year, but with a bit more oak and roundedness.

Light to medium yellow color. Nose of pineapple, green apple and citrus. Nice medium rich mouthfeel. Flavors reflect the nose with good acidity and minerality. Chablis-like. Nicely done and still very lively.

Reminded me of a Chablis, perhaps a lower-level premier cru. Had nice salinity with creamy lemon notes.
