October 15, 2021 - This is lush with apple and pear fruit up front transitioning to a wonderful lingering herbal back end. Great balance of acidity versus sweetness keeps this lean and mean. Yes, it was infanticide. But for science. I will try to restrain my impulses in the future.

May 1, 2021 - Not particularly exciting, this bottle. Well crafted, and in fine condition, but lacking that special something that I've come to expect from this vineyard.
It may have gone to sleep. In that case, I'd suggest to others to wait at least a year.
I reserved some for a second tasting; will revise this note if appropriate.
No rating. -

November 26, 2020 - Delicious. Still quite young, but has already revealed powerful Chardonnay fruit, crisp acidity, edges softened by a touch of oak.
I expect this to gain weight with age.
