I am neutral on this wine as for me it does not deliver to its price point. There is minerality behind the subtle vanilla oakiness and rose petal palate. This is medium plus bodied and has enough acidity to give this some elegance. Presents with a slightly disjointed bitter finish. Drinking now.

In finding this a little disjointed - this has fruit power and oak power but it’s just yet coming together. Sort of not as good a great Cali chards or Burgundy

I was expecting a little more having had the 2019 which was magnificent, but it was very balanced and perhaps was a poor pairing with the food (chicken in peanut sauce)

Great but a bit too young. It’s 7 years old but seems more like 2-3. Acid is still a bit forward. Looooong life ahead. Try again in a year or two, should drink well up to 2030 and beyond.

very ripe, very toasty on the nose. Still got enough acidity on the back end, and it was actually pretty high.
