Delicious and fully mature. The fruit is evolved and rich with light honey, baked apple and baked pineapple. Round and full in the mouth with light freshness. Classic styling with a nod to the old world.

Apertif - Wine dinner at Press, St. Helena - From magnum. I usually do not care for chardonnay - but this was something quite different. Not oaky, very mature and full bodied.

I wish more Chardonnay could taste like this 15 years from vintage. This is outstanding, an array of ripe citrus and pear fruit augmented with more savoury and developed hazelnut, vanilla, and mineral elements, all coming together very seamlessly on a surprisingly lightweight frame that feels incredibly racy and vibrant with bright acids beneath. Fantastic wine that only kept getting better with air.

Citrus, nutty, saline. With the exception of the slightly oxidative notes, this is quite fresh and seems much younger than it is. Zippy acidity. Shells/stones/minerals. Last of my 12 mixed-vintage bottle deal (under $22/bottle!!!!), but I unintentionally saved the best for last; many were a miss, and a few were a hit, but this one was fantastic! 92-93
