Nice mix of apple and pear together with yellow fruit. On the cusp of something tropical. Some nice notes of vanilla and almond paste together with some slight white flowers. The palate is rich and fleshy, but has the 2018 dilution to it (seems a recurring "issue" with 2018). Enjoyable chardonnay, but not on the level of his best.

Pale golden color. Nose of golden apple and pear with fresh cream and some vanilla coming through. Hint of white florals as well. On the palate, this wine shows a bit more oak than I would like and the acidity is not as high as the 2019 vintage of this wine. Creamy mouthfeel and still a tasty and enjoyable chardonnay but not on the level of the 2019 vintage.

This showed beautifully. Pear, stone fruits, a hint of hazelnut.
