  Still showing youthful freshness and energy, there’s plenty of citrus and lemon and stone fruits , a little note of oak, a nice lingering finish. I’m not getting any raisin or super ripe aging notes. this bottle is seeming very youthful to me. A Really delocicious Chardonnay. Drink now or up to 2025+ or so?

  Nose Dried raisins pineapple, with buttery/nutty notes coming at the end. 90 most pleasant.
  
  tTaste: Fruity, buttery with acidic notes coming after and linger on very pleasantly for a good 10s. Very nice 90
  
  This is my last bottle of this vintage and it is drinking well now. Given acidity it may have a few more years but enjoy it now

  Performs more like a single vineyard offering than an appellation bottling. Lemon and an infinitesimal suggestion of Nilla wafers drive the nose, but plenty of succulent stonefruit, pear, and quince energize the core of this beautiful wine. Tactile and rich yet balanced and tensile, it picks up a kiss of baking spices on the seamless finish. Phenomenal.

  Nice light straw yellow.
  Nose: Fruity yellow apple(?), oak come out after, with a buttery note.
  Taste: Medium/full bodied, fruitiness follows through, acidity is surprisingly high and actually pleasant. The latter makes this refreshing and thus both ideal for gastronomical and aperitif purposes. I got it in 50% sale so a perfect QOR! Would I pay the full price? Maybe.

  Slightly effervescent on the opening but softened after about 15 minutes. Pear and lemon flavors mixed with the slight vanilla from the oak barrel aging and a little butter from a secondary malolatic or leaving the juice on the lees. Have had better Ramey's from some of his single vinyards.
