Clean, pronounced intensity nose of lemon curd, green apple, apricot, vanilla (?) and toffee. The wine is fully developed.
The palate is dry, M+ acid, M alcohol, M+ body with M+ intensity flavors of lemon, dried apricots, apples, toffee, toast and ginger with a M+ length finish.
Quality level is outstanding. Drink now, not suitable for further aging.

Chilled to about 50 degrees then popped and poured. Great nose of lemon curd, toffee, green apple, and figs. On the palate, lush without being overpowering, flavors of meyer lemon, butterscotch, golden apple, with hints of spicy oak. Racy finish with great sweet/tart balance. Great now, should improve over the next few years. Drink or hold. Best chardonnay ever from this estate.

Great structure with some light buttery notes on the nose. Full and voluptuous mouthfeel but at the same time remains elegant. Excellent wine.
