Steely and promising on the nose, which doesn't quite follow through on the palate. Light stone fruit, a bit of citrus peel, broad minerality, and a kiss of integrated oak. Rich texture, married to thrumming acidity. Very good, but lacking the depth to take it to the next level.

Good. Will please people who like round, creamy chardonnays. Not oaky. Tastes prestigious, but not exciting enough for me.

Stone fruit notes and subtle minerality dance wonderfully together with the oak softly putting a nice finishing touch in every taste. Well done!
