Caramel, marzipan, dried apricot, brownish color, potpourri, walnut paste, salty salinity. Like a fino Sherry. Just at the edge of over the hill. Natural cork. (2009 Mont de Milieu on DIAM still fresh and reductive though!)

Just when I think this is maturing quickly, I get notes of making me think the opposite. Nice ripe fruit. Typical salinity and minerality.

Very bright cirtus fruit, a little too much. Lasting impressions on the palate, as enjoyable as a drive to the supermarket in the middle of winter with the windows down. Burst of aged pineapple, hints of over ripe nectarine and new oak. A wine from an '02 vintage, it was disappointing wine.

Excellent Chablis here. A little weight but fantastic acid and structure

Bright fruit, Modest chalky minerality, well balanced, crisp acidity, little to on oxidation for the age.

Loads of acidity. Pretty nice out of 375 but still needs several years.
