Another year of bottle age has helped this wine. I love the purity of the nose. Citrus zest inflected, barely-ripe apple fruit, a wee note of Indian spice, some classic Chablis brothiness, intense limestoney minerality. The nose alone is worth the price of admission. In the mouth, it hits with an initial heavy punch, but then the acids kick in and lighten the mood. The flavors are a tad one-dimensional. The finish is not as long as I’d like, but it’s nicely minerally.
