  Excellent despite being “past prime”

  PHMG WAG: The Wine Club Tasting (The Lyon Club): This wine is a great spot. Nice depth of Fuji apple, white peach, white citrus with some minerality and salinity in the background. Does NOT scream California, oak is modest. Lovely, now-2023.

  Beim ersten Mal hat mich dieser Wein fasziniert. Ich fand ihn sehr burgundisch. Heute präsentiert er sich eher kalifornisch. Kräftig, üppig, etwas eindimensional. Man beißt zwar nicht in ein Stück Holz, aber das Barrique läßt sich nicht wegdiskutieren. Buttrig, cremig, etwas Vanille und Honig. Dezente Röstaromatik. Der Alkohol ist zwar gut integriert, aber der Säuremangel macht ihn im mid-palate breit und nimmt ihm die nötige Eleganz, um ihn in die Chardonnay-Champions League zu hieven. In 2-3 Jahren könnte der Wein runder werden. 91-92

  A very elegant chardonnay, with notes of white fleshy fruit, mineral, hazelnut, and a touch of toasty oak. Clean, fresh, decadent.

  Extremely pleasant white fruit, some toast, but not buttery at all. MOE: this is really good.
