Concentrated, quite forward, acidity has softened, some minerality. This could be mistaken for Chablis in a warm year? Don't think it will improve from here.

Well, its metallic steely chardonnay on the nose. No malo, all stainless. Fruity mid-palate, viscosity apperently coming from the Chardonnay muscet clone. In the next couple of vintages this will supposedly rolll to all SLH fruit. Right now its some Arroyo.

Quite concentrated fruit, tangy acidity and zest. Good flavours buts slightly disjointed - perhaps needs a little more time to knit together?
