Appearance: Yellow
straw.
Aroma:
Classic lemony apple nose. Some white fruits and a bit of floral
aroma.
Palate: Medium bodied
on the texture. Full of minerality. Crisp and juicy. Abundant of citrus notes
and smokiness.
There are joys within this bottle of Chablis. I believe
with or without food is perfectly fine. Not exactly easy drinking kind. I would
say extrovert. Wonderful now actually but with its intense structure and acidity
it should live its life for many years. Let's see how it develops in a few
years.
