  August 4, 2022 - Kleur: Medium goudgeel. Aroma / bouquet: Rijk en rijp bouquet met expressieve indrukken van roomboter, honing, vanille, verfijnd hout. Smaak / Afdronk: Zolang deze wijn op een serieus gematigde temperatuur (< 13-14 graden!) wordt geserveerd, bevat de wijn meer dan voldoende frisheid en zuren (en blijft het alcoholgehalte beneden het niveau dat me begint te storen). Het mondgevoel is filmend, de wijn dik-sappig en met een serieus indrukwekkende concentratie en met een serieuze lengte. Algemeen / potentieel: Indrukwekkende Sonoma-Chardonnay van ongekende klasse. Die het desondanks lastig zal krijgen om het op te nemen tegen de (toch meer gebalanceerde, meer frisheid en minder alcohol bevattende) 'grootste witten der aarde' van de Bourgogne… 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 13 + Smaak / Afdronk: 19 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 95/100
  
  Colour: Medium golden yellow. Aroma / bouquet: Rich and ripe bouquet with expressive impressions of butter, honey, vanilla, refined wood. Taste / Aftertaste: As long as this wine is served at a seriously moderate temperature (< 13-14 degrees!), the wine contains more than enough freshness and acidity (and the alcohol content remains below the level that starts with me to disturb). The mouthfeel is filmy, the wine thick-juicy and with seriously impressive concentration and serious length. Overall / potential: Impressive Sonoma Chardonnay of unprecedented class. Who will nevertheless find it difficult to compete against the (yet more balanced, more freshness and less alcohol containing) 'greatest whites of the earth' of Burgundy… 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 13 + Taste / Aftertaste : 19 + Overall / potential: 8 = 95/100

  June 10, 2020 - Medium yellow. No amber. Really expressive. Great nose and fruit. A ringer for a grand cru white burg. Aged well.

  July 1, 2018 - This was huge, concentrated, but still had a elegant floral nose despite the scale of the palate. I got a little heat, but not too distracting. A unique style of chardonnay.

  a bit difficult to drink. More impressive than delicious?
  Still quite an experience. Not sure if this is getting better or more disjointed?
