Chamonard Morgon Le Clos de Lys – unfortunately, I believe that the wine was not decanted, which may have been fine for the first to pour, but by the time it got to me it was a cloudy mess – looked like pink Koolaid with a handful of diatomaceous earth thrown in, and run up on a paint shaker. We have had discussions about whether sediment can change the perception of a wine on palate if mixed in, and I think that it can. In any case this wine was notable only for the pronounced celery in the nose and a lean acidic disposition. There was some improvement in the glass and it became less objectionable, but it may have been a bad bottle. Too bad.

Bize ranks with Pavelot and Chandon des Brialles as my favorite SLBs (since the sale of Ecard)
Haven't had the '97, but there was a re-release of the '98 Chamonard a few years back, I've enjoyed every time. Too bad about lack of decanting
nice notes
