| Had this wine yesterday at our VinoCellar organizational meeting. Decanted for 1 1/2 hours prior to tasting. Consumed from Riedel Vinum Chardonnay stems.
Color is a deep amber tinged gold. Nose is intense with pink lady apple,yeast and nuts. Oily textured and full bodied, this wine is serious Chablis. Honey, pear, brazil nuts, oak and a VERY long citrus-lime infused finish. Wonderful wine. jb Rating 94.
Fantastic White Burgundy that was initially tighter when first sampled. Evolved over the course of the evening. I tried some prior to going to sleep at 1:30 am. It had now been open over 7 hours and was now falling apart. Drink now (but decant 2 hours) to 2008.

| This was a beautiful Chablis (I have had very few) brought by jb and a wonderful way to kick off the evening. This had an absolutely gorgeous nose of nuts, pineapple, apple. The lime on the palate was stunning and lingering. It certainly needed the decanting as it really blossomed while hanging out in my glass as I savored it. | | | |

| This was absolutely delicious wine.
I found pineapple, an unknown nut (almond?), and some lime on the finish of this delicate beauty.
It had one of the best noses I've ever encountered on a white wine.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough experience to judge whites and therefore can't give a proper (fair) score.
