  April 13, 2015 - Leesy toasty aromas of green apple, citrus zest and tangerine.
  Flavors of leesy toasty orange oil, ripe apples, lemon zest, & a note of carmelized peach. Long, but more linear than the flavors would indicate, with a sense of a bottom that prevented greater depth. My wife said it was excess acidity preventing the flavors from becoming expansive. Whatever the cause ( screw caps in the early days? ) it forms a frontier between very good and great wine. Enjoyable chardonnay that seems to have the potential to be more.
  
  2nd day: 100 ml kept in the fridge opened up amazingly. Deeper, richer, and more complex with hazelnuts, orange and tangerine liqueur, and ripe peaches, all balanced with a fine minerality. Wow. Really makes me question screw caps for a wine that ages so well. Clearly this needs a few more years to reach its peak when virtually no one will have a bottle left to drink! 93 points
