This too is quite restrained with a distinctly cool fruit profile of green fruit and a plethora of classic Chablis elements that include iodine

The 2004 Brut Cristal has put on quite a bit of weight since I first tasted it earlier this year

weight and power as well as a bit more complexity to the mineral-driven and impeccably well-balanced finish that is both explosive and palate staining

don’t mind a year without having to make the significant but very worthwhile investment acquiring these wines requires

Saint Cosme, Gigondas Claux Vintage:2015 This too is quite restrainedLiquorice, cinnamon and strawberry, taking on some tobacco leaf now and vanilla. Oak is quite marked still. Rounded but not overly fat. Juicy, well balanced. Nice saline kick on the finish. Oak however is a little distracting on this vintage.
