  Tasted non blind.
  
  Light yellow to yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of lemon, paraffin, talc and yellow apples. Flavors of lemon, cream and tart apples. Medium acidity, full bodied. Drink over the short term.

  I think it’s probably a bit past it’s prime but trading some of that acidity and freshness for all of the secondary flavors you get here might not be such a bad thing. You get a lot of ripe warm weather Chardonnay fruit along with some spices on the nose like cumin and maybe even anise. Complex and delicious.

  Awesome wine. Lemons, lemon blossom, and baking spices fill the nose while tropical fruit, pineapple, and a kiss of honey drive the palate. Shows tremendous freshness and structure, very Burgundian, with outstanding tension between fruit, cut, and weight. Closes with grip and an elegant dusting of baking spices on the long and vivid finish.
