Last bottle, secondary notes have taken control of both palate and nose, so elegant, so integrated, so subtle, so balanced. Paired well with Chilean Sea bass and sea scallops.

Pnp, consumed over 1 hour. Appearance: Clear, pale gold. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developing aromas of lemon custard, pear, mango, pineapple, and flint. Palate: Dry, medium+ acid, medium+ body with a nice creamy mouth-feel, 14.1% abv, medium+ intensity with flavors of mango, lemon custard, pear, and buttered toast with a long finish.
Overall an outstanding Chardonnay nearing it's peak showing superb intensity, complexity, and length - could use just a touch more acid to balance the fruit and oak influence but that's probably splitting hairs. Great wine, drink now or over next 2-3 years.

Opened a magnum that I’ve had cellared since release, one of the first OR Chards I liked. Drinking nicely and if stored properly could last s few more years though I doubt it’s going to improve.

Served as the white alternative at Christmas dinner, very nice Chardonnay, perfect balance, stone, lemon, kiwi, green apple, hints of mango.
