    January 20, 2022 - Strong minerality against a light body and high acid. Really singing, and i think Hardy’s style works well on this fruit. Never meant to “age” it this long as I enjoy freshness & verve with D&R but this has stood up well and is in a nice spot

    September 28, 2021 - Really went through some evolutions over the course of two hours after being decanted a few hours prior. Give this air. At times reticent, at times typically D&R electric, enjoyable and intriguing all throughout.

    July 13, 2021 - Almost three years from my last bottle. It's still fresh, light and crisp. Needs a good bit of air to open up. Doesn't seem to have the guts of the 2013. Shows more like a Muscadet in style/weight (similar to the bottle I had in 2018). I definitely preferred the 2013 for its greater depth.

    June 1, 2021 - Lovely, light on its feet CA Chardonnay. Modesty, balance and grace not typically seen from this state. So very impressive. Still tasting young seven years later.
