Purchased at Bergstrom on release and cellared at 8 C in cold Whistler cellar. After reading some of these dubious tasting notes felt I had to jump into the fray. Light yellow with crushed peach pit and whiff of granite and lilies on the nose. Viscous young stone fruit on palate with impressive grip and a long finish. This could easily slay 80% of white burgundies in a blind tasting with enormous palatal grip and an expansion on the back end that reminds me of a PYCM Chassagne 1er cru about 15 years out. This is fabulous and glad to have another case to slide into white burg blind tastings. Josh changed styles after visiting burgundy about 10 years ago, and this bottle clearly indicates that Bergstrom is ready to take on the world chardonnays and slap a lot of them down with this phenomenal bottle- wow! Best now to 2031.

My last bottle: this one had evolved and was better than the two previous ones but I still remain unconvinced. There was a grassy undertone on the nose and palate that I still do not like very much. Otherwise the wine has become more mineral and more complex. Bea definitively liked it better than I did.

Bit heavy still. Think this is as good as it gets. Drink up but expect a bit of oak and petroleum.
