A little round but still glorious. The devil is a lie, perm-ox is real. However I don't know if it's fair to call 20 year old Chablis premox, at that point it's just a tad ox...

Imagine the finale of a fireworks show on the Fourth of July. A spectacle of a wine and just a puppy @ 19 years old

1997. Not holding too well. Was a cool experience, mostly from a textural perspective. Mushroom aromas beneath oxidation.

May 22nd, 2017Hard to express how good this was. Somehow this bottle managed to retain all of what was likely great about it on release (acid balance, snappy minerality) and just ADD complexity and length. Stunning. Very long finish which tempered mushrooms and choose your own umami with a painful tidal pool and steely finish. The Eddy w/ C&C
