  April 26, 2024 - Under screw cap. In far better shape that another bottle of this I opened some years ago, which was advanced. In fact, if I were scoring off of the nose alone, which was extraordinary, it would merit something in the very high nineties, with evident reduction expressed as sulfur and tire rubber, alongside loads of rich, ripe tropical notes and some lemon and spice. The fruit was equally ample on the palate, as was some oak spice, but the wine finished with enough phenolic bitterness that I found it distracting. Still, a very fine showing.

  January 9, 2024 - Beautiful wine bursting with strong flavors of orange and lemon. Undertones of nectarine and peach. Color starting to change to more of a light yellow. Very easy to drink and a beautiful chardonnay

  November 26, 2022 - Love, love this wine. Beautifully weighted and balanced, full of complexity and zest with lively acidity. A masterpiece in Chardonnay wine making. Can easily give any grand cru a good run for its money.
  
  Colour is just beginning to change light yellow and the nose has notes of nectarines, red apple and some flintiness. Body was the talk of the town, with layers of complex flavour profiles. Lingering finish that will linger into the night.
  
  Drink now to 4+ years.
