Nose has grilled lemon, washed strawberry, vanilla cremé, wet flint rock, dehydrated apricot and warm butter.

Palate has cooked lemon slice, fresh lemon, pineapple, cold toffee candy, wet sand and medium acidity with medium finish.

Cork pulled for a 5H slow oxidation.

@David T probably has a better note...

Agreeable pairing tonight with 'Georgian Chicken'; (local) chicken thighs with dry rub, seared in cast iron, then simmered/baked in a walnut/cilantro/jalapeno/tomato paste sauce, finished with pomegranate seeds & pomegranate vinegar drizzle. — 5 years ago

Palate has dried lime, sweet green apple slice, slate gravel, under-ripe peach, under-ripe pear, bright acidy, medium finish. As the label states, (very) dry. Future bottles should be 2027+ — 6 years ago

Wow! What a nose.
Strong smells of roasting blackberry jam, on a slice of sourdough.
Heavy handed, with all your classic dark fruits, with a little bit orange ones thrown in, mostly that shows through in the acidity. Dried persimmons, allow this wine to finally rest.
Yum. — 6 years ago

Excellent appertivo with a slice of orange over ice. Spritzed the rim with orange peel oil too and that really brought out the deeper citrus notes. — 8 years ago

9.3

Nose has toasted brioche, grilled lemon, warm lemon creme, lemon zest, oxidized pear slice and fresh, rising bread dough.

Palate has lemon poundcake, cold toast, limestone chips, dried lemon slice and (light) candied orange.

Great mid-palate, a restrained richness is all elegance, acid balance is perfect and not pulling you one way or another. At 15 years past vintage, a great example of finesse in Champagne.

An aptly titled, solid bottle to begin our Valentine's Day 2020 afternoon. — 5 years ago

Nose has fresh lemon slice, lemon juice on chalk, lightly oxidized yellow apple slice and crushed oyster shells.

Palate has warmed lemon, lemon peel, wet chalk, orange peel, (minor) lemon verbena tea with a sandstone-chalky finish.

A fun, but youthful, Chablis; expect this bottle to show better in 2021-22+. — 6 years ago

Great to sip on the rocks. Or add a touch of simple syrup and an orange slice for a smooth old fashioned. — 7 years ago

A pre-dinner bottle while we do meal prep tonight.

Prior notes still apply:
Nose has lime zest, lime juice, green hay, wet granite/limestone pebbles, oxidized green apple peel, polyethylene tubing and tangerine peel.
Palate has Key lime flesh, cold tangerine slice, apricot skin, wet-pulverized limestone, lemongrass, tangerine zest, (minor) dried apricot and light honey on the medium finish, medium acid, great balance. — 5 years ago

9.0

Nose has yellow apple slice, lychee slice, washed lime, dry chalk and orange blossom.

Palate has warmed sweet green apple, lime peel, lime slice, crisp salinity, steely notes with medium level acidity. A short but fun finish, a solid wine for enjoyment; Purity of the appellation.

I am in agreement with some professional critics, the vintage of this Village wine appears a little softer than other years. This will be an earlier drinker, but would be rewarded with a brief hold of 1-2 years, 2022-23. ~$20 — 5 years ago

One the nose, perfumed purple florals, lilac, blue fruit blend, blackberries, black plum, black raspberries, hint of pepper, whiff of tobacco, dry herbs & dark soils.

The palate has lots of; blue fruits, black berry, black plum, black raspberries, pepper, tarry notes, black licorice, dry herbs, figs, tobacco, soft leather, round, big, acidity and leaner nice perfumed finish. Photos of; their tasting bar, shiny new stainless tanks and their driveway entrance sign. — 9 years ago

Perhaps the best infused Gin for cocktails. Add Lillet and lemon peel for a Vesper or simply add good tonic water. You could even enjoy it on the rocks with a slice of orange. — 9 years ago
