Nice but not as impressive as I recall on release. Seems to have quite a whack of sulfur still. It has slimmed down, but the oak sticks out to my taste; the underlying material doesn't stand up to it.

Rhys Dinner Following Rhys Tasting (Prairie Grass - Northbrook IL): Plenty of ripe apple, some baked apple with emerging butterscotch. Probably better a few years back.

Not a big Chardonnay fan, but Rhys is making some excellent Chardonnay. The wine is drinking great right now.

Outstanding. The wood is sticking out a bit at this point, but still beautiful, beautiful stuff.
