Another stellar bottle. Consistent with previous notes but with a tinge of alder wood smoke on the nose and a more pronounced saline quality on the finish.

Finally got a good bottle! Opened on a lark figuring if it was as tired as the previous 3 we could dump it and move on. This was firing on all cylinders. Gorgeous oxidative nose. Butterscotch, baked pear, lemon oil, truffle, coffee. Medium+ acidity. World class chardonnay. Faith completely restored.

I think the oxidation is slightly overdone on this vintage. I've had two bottles and they just don't seem to have the same balance that previous vintages have had. Looking forward to trying the rest but will do so with reservations.
