wow!!!! this is good. Got that pop-corny, fire-cracker, lemony thing that is so distinctive with good CC's. Lean and long, defies the warm vintage. Highly recommended. Drinking beautifully already

Dinner with Blair Pethel (Chicago, IL): To be sure, this is ridiculously young, but it's actually fairly approachable and delicious already. There's a slight bit of reduction on the nose here, but nothing close to the level of that 2004. A really powerful wine, driven mostly by its fruit, but there's counterbalancing acidity and minerality here. Not the crispest example of chardonnay, this is a wine that will age on its extract and scale rather than the acidity.

Thursday Cellar Visits in Burgundy - Lafarge, Lamarche, Château De La Tour and Dublère (Cote d'Or): Barrel tasting at the domaine. Leaner style fruit with apple and pear, softer background spice. Well textured and elegant for the vintage with a long, long finish.
