What is the vintage then? The neck slip is missing but when I remove the top capsule the vintage, thankfully, is branded on the cork.
This 13 year old Chablis needs some time to open up. It shows of fine scents of ripe pears, ginger, dry caramel, soap and lots of slate. Deep and fine. With air some gun powder scents emerge. Very, very good. Still rather young. A touch salty, in a refined way.
The taste is stony, ripe and full bodied with notes of blood oranges, crushed rocks, toasted bread, dried flowers and smoke. A long, warm, intense finish. This is really good but I would wait with any additional bottles for another 3-5 years.
