Allen Meadows - Score: 92 (2014 April)

Interesting notes of fennel, green Chablis fruit and straw introduce medium weight, slightly austere, understated, precise flavors that deliver plenty of complexity and length but lack the same density as the 2001 version. To be sure, this is an excellent wine and Raveneau may have been a bit too modest in his comments about the vintage as this is really lovely if not genuinely incredible. As to maturity, for my taste this has reached a point where it can be enjoyed now though it will certainly hold for years to come. Multiple and pretty much consistent notes though I have had at least four bottles that displayed mild pre-mox issues including the most recent one in July 2016.
