    This Wine: Medium lemon color. Clearly more intense and warm than 2020, which makes sense because of 2018 heat. At the same timer more rustic style for some reason. Medium acidity, alcohol, body, intensity and finish. 92+

    This Wine: Very fruity including notes of pineapple. I do need tropical fruit in chardonnay - a little too warm style for me. Not at a criminal level documented by the level of acidity which is high! Finish is medium.
