Did not plan to cellar this but very glad I did. No signs of oxidation. Lemon, green apple and rocks. Great texture and mouthfeel. Depth and persistence of flavor like preserved lemon. Acidity is still prominent, but balanced. Really loved this.

A rather distinctive chardonnay with strong acidity and mouth puckering sour-sweet lemon flavors, almost like a sour patch kid. A nicely persistent finish lingers after you taste. Wasn't getting too much aromatically. Enjoyed this wine and was rather surprised by it, as I expected something more mellow at 7 years old.

PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs -translucent light gold -muted nose begrudgingly yields some sweet lemon -initial soft entry hides the searing acidity that zooms in near the finish, med- weight fresh lean minerality and sweet lemon remnants, good length -lively lean minerally fresh high acid old world styled - could be mistaken for Chablis, drinking very well now - this may or may not get more interesting with development of mature elements

PnP. Better than the last bottle. Has matured to a place where it has weight (?!?!) to combine with the wonderful lift. 12.7%
