Wine Critics Notes:
Allen Meadows - Score: 91(2015 July)
Somewhat curiously for a 2003, this actually displays plenty of that classic Chablis mineral reduction nuance on the otherwise ripe nose. There is good richness and plenty of volume to the medium-bodied flavors that possess reasonably good depth and length plus better cut than one would expect in the context of the vintage. An excellent 2003 though it almost is superfluous to say that this is hardly a classic Chablis. Still, given the extremes of the vintage, this retains enough Chablis character to be convincing plus there is lovely comnplexity. Note further that this will continue to age effortlessly. Tasted thrice with consistent results.
