Community Tasting Note

• wernicke Likes this wine: 95 points

  May 12, 2024 - Piping up here to add my own commentary to that of the previous posters, with whose considered opinions i could not disagree more. Yes this is a zero acid wine. But the combination of the oak and the thick skin tannin, extracted well by the winemakers, gives this a sense of textural pluripotence akin to a Krug. If you are only looking for acid 1) that makes you an unsophisticate 2) you will surely find none here. What this does have is a brilliant searing sense of heft and cut (almost alkaline) from a 20 year old hot climate chardonnay coming into the prime of its drinking window
