Review Date: 11/2016This is undoubtedly one of the stars of the 2004 Chablis vintage with its cool, restrained and still youthful nose because while there is some maturity in evidence in the form of secondary floral, citrus and iodine characters, it’s clear that this hasn’t even begun to go tertiary the way from ‘04s have. There is equally good verve, intensity and cut to the markedly mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess flat out terrific complexity, all wrapped in a driving, saline and focused finale. Though I don’t foresee much in the way of additional development potential, this should offer a very long shelf life at this level and thus there is absolutely no rush to drink up. In short, this is marvelous.

Notes
94+ points, Stephen Tanzer for Vinous: "Pale color. The most complex and subtle of these 2004s on the nose: lime, grapefruit, white pepper, wet stone. Suave and penetrating on the palate, with terrific cut and intensity to its wet stone and citrus flavors. Perhaps best today on the brilliant, pure, slow-mounting finish, which offers a whiplash of flavor and a powerful impression of energy. This is utterly unevolved but even today there are no hard edges." (11/2006)
