  Grilled lemon and light toast aroma like a toasted marshmallow. Lemon and banana cream flavor. Mild toast finish. A wine with great balance and flavor.

  A hint of sulphur and brine on the nose, then lemons, citrus, minerality and some salinity - I tend to like chards from this vineyard.

  Lemon and acid a bit over the top.. a touch out of balance.

  Prior bottle was nine months ago and this wine continues to show well.
  Lemon, pear, and vanilla notes on the nose. Medium bodied with a flavor profile that was essentially unchanged; moving from white orchard fruit notes of pear and apple upfront, to white peach and then yellow apple and yellow peach in the mid-body. Retains very good acidity and the backside that contrasts extremely well with the expressiveness of the yellow fruit notes in the middle. Citrus notes and rounded vanilla on the backside provide a bridge to the finish. Overall, the fruit continues to show well and the structural qualities remain in balance. Feels like this is peak, but in a fashion that can be maintained over the next 12-18 months.
