Very good and consistent with previous note. Be careful not to over chill these and tartrate crystals definitely show up. Despite getting pushed to the coldest part of the fridge, the citrus and stone fruit phenolics were a delight.

The age has served this well. There is oak influence, but it's well integrated. Nectarine, lemon curd, and a touch of spice and smoke, there is a nice tension here between ripeness and elegance. Finish has more of a citrus lift than an exuberant tropicality. Good acid structure. Probably won't improve, but drinking marvellously now.

Clear Pale lemon with a greenish tiny. Medium gooseberry, nutty, buttery on the nose. Medium acidity, full body, dry, medium+ alcohol. medium length leaving a hot touch and gooseberry and buttery flavor. Good balance, but a little heated, good length, good instensity, good complexity. Petrol and lesser grape seed oil on the nose at higher temperature. So maybe wild yeast used in barrel fermentation. 87 for the consistent buttery and gooseberry flavors, as well as the round body and some complexity, but the heated alcohol. Overtly priced for 30 euros.

Very light in color, most Burg like Chard of the evening, lots of taut lemon lime and green apple notes, fresh acid, linear on entry then ripeness expands a bit, slightest touch of alcohol on the finish though doesn't detract; delicious.

Tasted this at POG dinner with the winemaker Nigel Greening. He claims the Elms wine will never be made again because the Elms takes care of the "surplus" of Chardonnay grapes in some vintages and as a result of "trading" a hectare of Chardonnay vineyards means there won't be a surplus now. Anyway, the wine is very fresh lovely soft fruit, no oak influence despite be aged in oak barrels because of their age. Very good indeed

Skilful and balanced. Will last, but beginning to drink well.
