Wednesday, June 3, 2020 - Another perfect bottle
cellared since release.

chardonnay/straw yellow
10 second mousse (in a white wine glass), and
a very fine, more persistent bead.

The fates put another of these lovelies in my path very quickly, and, indeed, a superior and more giving drink is being roundly enjoyed. And rounder!

Nose of sourdough, flint, steel, and magnolias-- white flowers, anyway, with a whiff of sweetness!

Here on the palate more dough than before, and limestone, but with also increasing white peach pith, and honeysuckle nectar. The steely mineral element however is as persistent as her little bubbles, and the result is an inner mouth tension reminiscent of Krug and Salon from this same vintage.

The nose at 30 minutes is yellow flowered and distinctly honeyed.

Something green in here as well, like unto the skin of a granny smith apple, but with (if at all) the merest suggestion of actual apple. Very tasty and very popular. Just poured a glass rudely full. Fuck it, I'm with the paying percentage.

Mind: I am 24 hours without cash or working card, and in no mood to flatter. at all. Delicious.
