Bright, light lemon in color, shimmering, clean and clear. Beautiful subdued smoky 'oakiness', some lemon zest High minerality. Still rather bracing. Aggressive acidity balanced with a sort of lemon curd creaminess on the back end. The oaky smokiness comes and goes adding nuances to each flavor profile. This is a special wine. Without a doubt a lot of effort has gone into making it. A lot of finesse with this one. Drink now or hold another 1-3 years.

In really good form. There’s a whiff of smoky mineral reduction. It has pure white peach and green melon fruits. It is rich, direct, powerful and long.

Singing tonight. Full, minerality in place to keep it fresh.

Really excellent mature burgundy. Round, smooth with minerality to maintain freshness

Quite a bit of oak left in this wine upon opening. Chewy chardonnay with med+ acidity and body. Decent length, drinking well already.
Drink or hold.
