Impressive wine. Golden hue, strong honey and floral aromas, and a delicious palate of tropical fruits, lemon, and honey. Some sweetness that was balanced exquisitely by the ample acidity.

Vieux Donjon Vertical and a bunch of others (Mike's home): My palate was getting fatigued at this point and this did nothing to wake it up. After the Tablas Creek white, this seemed a bit pedestrian. Nothing wrong and varietally correct. It was sound, but not quite to the level of outstanding. Not sure of pricing, if reasonable, then perhaps there is some value here.

Found the oak a bit too much, but a very tight bottle over all. Some citrus under the oak. Consumed over three nights, did not get much out of it at any point. Rebuy: no.

exceptional purity of fruit, extreme creaminess with a bite on the finish.

Best chardonnay I've ever had ! tropical notes with lemon custard . rich but precise with a long mineral finish.
