  I'm tasting that this is still on its way up. Smells of light nectarine and honeydew melon, some honeycomb as well. Flavors are quite big, a rich mouthfeel without feeling heavy. Long and balanced finish.
  Tastes of honeycomb, asian (spicy) pear, ripe nectarine and a 'blond-wood' note. Great now (April 2024) and will improve for another 1-2 years.

  At its peak for the "younger" style of Stony. Great mouthfeel, with intense citrus and honeycomb. Has a balanced and lengthy finish. A few more years will reveal the more "older" honeyed flavors but I'm liking this age its at now and will drink over 2024-2025

  Nice 10 year old Chard. Rich texture but somewhat angular. Flavors and aromas somewhat reticent and took a good bit of aeration to evolve. Very mineral dense and lemon and lime zest fruited with green apple. Somewhat minty with a creamy cheese note on the nose. Powerful but balanced old-world style chard. Long lime driven finish. Intense and full of depth and character.

  Gold color, clear and bright. Very pretty aromatics of frosted orange, quince and key lime, with hints of tea leaves, verbena, ginger powder, forest floor and crushed stone - very nice complexity. Fresh and vicarious on the palate, slightly richer in fruit adding hints of fresh apricot to the more citrusy notes, over a dense core of rocky minerals, cardamom, jasmine and hints of tea and honeysuckle bloom. Medium bodied, expansive and firm, with still taut acidity and fleshy plush structure on the finish, closing with nice depth of zesty citrus. Integrated and early secondary, great freshness, great bottle, drink/hold.
