  Rhys vs White Burgundy Blind (A collector's home): Wine C. The nose shows tropical fruit, some mango and pineapple. Surprising acidity, decent cut, but ultimately this has a rounder riper and 1 note palate that lacked complexity. I guessed this to be Rhys

  Really enjoyable
  500ml bottle, 12.5 % ABV
  Quite ripe fruit and soft initial profile, touch of sweetness but this isn’t a big fruit driven buttery chard, far from it.
  A real underlying leanness on the finish and gold verve - Approchable and enjoyable
  The bottle format and low ABV means it’s easy to do so as an extra bottle
  Lovely

  A week ago I had my first bottle as part of a lineup of seven Chardonnays. The memory lingered, and last night I decided to open a second bottle. It really is a great wine. Last night we had this after tasting a grand cru Chablis, and someone said it was like going from 2D to 3D. We also had a 2014 Peay Estate Chardonnay, which was nice but, fwiw, not in the same league as this horseshoe Chardonnay. I am very impressed.

  Very crisp. Very firm acidic spine. And very light color. On day one, it was kind of too acidic for me. Revisited 48 hours later: It’s color had darkened a bit and the body had put on weight and richness while maintaining the firm spine.

  Fabulous showing. Full of perfectly ripe orchard fruits and amped up with electric acidity. Long, lingering and bitingly crisp on the finish.
