Always a good one. Not sure I could distinguish from the ‘19 I had several weeks back - same voluptuous fruit, slightly wooden finish - could definitely use a few more years - this young it’s a little too fruit forward/unsubtle — 2 days ago

Excellent - about as full bodied a Chablis as you’re going to get - medium yellow color, refined nose, peach on the palate. Clean finish with no acidic turn. Bit of a guzzler actually — 25 days ago

Seriously pungent despite the age…this might be an all time CDP for me, reminds me of the best cote rotis in flavor and body, best of the reds this evening — a month ago

PJW rec for JSW/NYE - and I would group with Lanson rose a year or two ago as fancy champs lost on me - J loves “the bubbles are more delicate” but I’ll take the value Favier instead — a month ago

This is the G&R Collet Recolte Chablis - another moderate bodied Chablis - medium yellow color, peach nose, continues on the palate; no acidic finish. J doesn’t love, thinks it’s over oaked, maybe that’s her sensitivity to Chardonnay - I’m not getting but agree falls short of the Saint Come. Can NOT drink cold — 3 days ago

Apparently Danely’s favorite WB, but this was to me “just another” Mersault - thin, maybe even minerally, not overly complex, lacking in body. The Chevalier earlier much more my jam. He said this needs 10 years - maybe - but I’d be worried you wait that long and it’s still thin — a month ago

Stellar: bright, fully rounded, dark yellow tone, just this side of oxidized, full power burgh. Can’t believe it’s held up this long. — a month ago

Great examplar of the old school Barolo…decanted 90 mins….seriously pungent/truly gorgeous nose, more refined on the palate but lots of fruit, still a bit wooden/tannic - not offensively so but could probably mellow another 5 years. But very drinkable now, perfect with a heavy roast. Nose is so fragrant I could go around sniffing this all day — 24 days ago

This one had good bones but the slightest hint of vinegar on both the nose and palate - and the telltale orange rim in the glass. Drinkable but maybe just OTH and couldn’t measure up to the previous reds — a month ago

Perfect burgh, strong perfume yet not overpowering on the palate, well aged, not a hint of acidity — a month ago
