Wow... this bottle wasn't even stored that great and it showed really well. Medium golden color with a bit of lees sediment. Pear and lemon fruit with hazelnut and lavender. Not super mineral, but its full-bodied and viscous texture carries the 14.8% abv very well. But most importantly, a clear and focused beam of acidity that carries the surprisingly long finish with freshness and drive.

Great showing for this wine. Lush and broad on the palate, with green fig, pineapple, custard, and brioche notes framed by stylish, creamy, smoky oak. Finishes long and persistent, with a shot of bright acidity. Full of character. At it's peak. Delicious.

Cork dried, crumbly but wine still hanging in with a richness from the age

These are the Chardonnay's that we first fell in love with. Probably better than it was back then. Wish I had more.

This wine is just about the same as the last time we drank it. Cellaring it has not hurt or helped it much.
