10 year old Chablis is getting flinty and smoky. Beeswax, honey, toasted almonds.

Still high acid, but fruit is sort of smoothing out and giving way to more nutty and saline characteristics.

Still mineral driven but edging closer to saline than stoney.

Green orchard fruits are still the backbone in terms of fruit. But way more on the savory side at this point.

Lacking maybe a bit of structural brightness but it is still sleek like a whisper — 4 months ago

Aromatics like a lotus leaf and sweet fur, the musk of spring and fresh rapids.

Bursting with fruit and acidity. Almost like a Chardonnay but zippier, less rounded.

Intense flavor and a full mouthfeel of citrus, grapefruit, peaches, nectarines.

Really great Sauvignon Blanc. — a month ago
