A gorgeously fresh and instantly recognizable nose reflects clear Chablis characters that include mineral reduction, oyster shell, sea breeze and discreet notes of iodine. The classic Chablis character continues onto the chiseled, intense and stony middle weight flavors that possess strikingly good focus and punch before culminating in a balanced and explosively long finish. This is a stunner of a wine and still on the way up even though it could certainly be enjoyed now. Tasted on multiple occasions and my scores have been consistent, varying only from 94 to 95. Note that another bottle tasted in February of 2015 that was also opened in Burgundy played right on the edge of having a trace of butterscotch. Moreover the flavors seemed to lack focus and intensity and based on my most recent experience, was clearly not representative.
