This bottle was not supposed to be consumed in 2016, but I had a problem with my wine cooler/fridge, so I couldn't wait anymore. It was also my wife's birthday, and I wanted to drink something out of the ordinary, so this was it.
And man oh man was this good - spectacular in every sense. An explosion of aromas right off the bat - pineapple, peaches, tropical fruit. In the mouth, it was both dense and complex, with excellent accidity and 45+ seconds length. Best chardonnay I ever had. A wow wine that I intend to buy again. 96-97 pts.

Good, but no fireworks. I'd rather have a Mount Eden Reserve chard for 1/3 of the price, which I had the night before.

Better than previous bottles because this was a mag. Still very youthful, still has that characteristic smoky flavor which I like. Long finish.

Gorgeous chard. Beautifully balanced, great finish, very smokey on nose but in a good way.
