Good god this is good. A lemon lime thing on the nose that wasn't there a couple of months ago. And then all chalk or wet granite to the nose. The palate is this big textural exploration and I swear the finish lasts for two minutes. Wild wine. Just starting to enter its drinking window in my opinion. Not quite getting the "Jermann" nose yet.

So my thought was that this keeps getting better and better with air. I decided to put that thought to the test. I decanted a 375 ml in a Riedel duck at 8 am, poured it back into the bottle at 10:30, and let it stand open until 2. I tasted it lightly all the way through that time.
And it does keep getting better and better. Where (or should I write were?) it used to be just toasty Chardonnay its now amaretto, spice cookies, some chardonnay fruit, touch of bannana, mineral heading towards iron, with an incredibly lengthy finish. And its always changing, everytime I go back to it. It seems to keep getting brighter and brighter orange and citrus. Crazy little wine!
Tasted alongside Kongsgaard Chardonnay just to see what a domestic IGT wine is like.

Just begining to peak around the corner with its stoney minerality and sweet fruit. A baby. But it went well with the mint pesto so no regrets.

This is probably the best Where Dreams that I have ever tasted. Does it just need time to calm down?
