I'm thinking I have an oxidized bottle here. Super evolved amber gold color. Hard smoky notes, with some pleasant rich honeyed melon notes in the back ground. Cork was soaked half way, but didn't look like it broke through at the top. I know this bottling can be super extracted so I am not sure if this is a result of holding it too long. Bought at the winery on release and stored in a cold cellar.

Solstice wine, pop and pour at refrigerator temperature. Super delicious, savory Chardonnay with saline minerality, honey, lemon zest, powdered sugar, then a long finish. This will please the crowd and the connoisseurs alike.

Drinking well now. Full bodied stone fruit and creamy oak. Nice mineral backing. No rush.

Lots of vanilla, no complexity, long finish, disappointing. It is nice drinking thanks to roundness.
