  Acquired from Barney Rhodes(planted Martha's Vineyard, owner Bella Oaks V) cellar…..maybe Hanzell fruit?…..decided to go with a PnP…and this was SPECTACULAR all night! UN believable how youthful this wine was…..as soon as I smelled the cork, I knew we were in for a treat! Montrachet meets Chapoutier Ermitage Blanc…..brilliant gold, green color…RICH buttered pears/apples, grilled pineapple….fresh and alive with lemon curd, crushed minerals….perfect oak integration…..complexities of lantern oil, antique wax, hot buttered rum spice, cold green tea. NO WAY this is 48yrs old! Amazing freshness, sweetness..yet perfect balance of salinity and unique aged complexities……and it didn't waver all night! Thought it might die out…but it kept on going….just an amazing experience!
