On the palate- Big tropical fruits and baked apple, creme brulee and toasted brioche, butter scotch and dried mango, yuzu and lemon blossom, toasted oak and vanilla, pie crust and lemon curd with a nice creamy butter finish. This wine is drinking KILLER now and the mouthfeel and finish is super lush and long. This wine has nice struture but is a bigger more full bodied chardonnay and I think could last another 5-7 years with no real problem.

On the palate- Big tropical fruits and fresh gooseberry, fresh peach and fresh lime, fresh grapefruit and honeydew, salinity and crushed sea shells. This wine is drinking KILLER now being young with some fantastic acidity but I see this being able to age 5+ years easily with no problem
at all.
