December 18, 2023 - Excellent wine, citrus notes, with a distinctive taste.. May be the best Chardonnay we have tasted.
September 24, 2023 - Been a long time since I've had one of these. Pear, apricot, Meyer lemon and a touch of mineral on the nose. While I pick up some steel across the palate there's a nicely balanced buttery coating as well. Easy to drink and certainly not overoaked, I enjoyed its complexity but there's are other wines delivering more for the same or less $$.
August 21, 2023 - Either corked or had a bad funk. Not good
July 4, 2023 - Nicely balanced. Good but not remarkable.
April 4, 2023 - Not as complex as some other vintages, but still a very good wine
January 13, 2023 - This was a pleasant surprise for me. I had not tasted anything from Far Niente in about 20 years and back then their chards had become overly oaked and buttery. In contrast this was bright with acidity and nicely mineral driven. The palate had a fruit profile that was more white peach and tropical fruit than citrus. Very pleasant finish. Much more enjoyable than expected. Very well done.
December 22, 2022 - A little worried that my case hasn’t been stored well because two bottles that I opened both tasted a bit oxidised with very little acidity left. I hope it’s just less than ideal bottle condition?
August 13, 2022 - Crisp, semi dry with nice fruit and well balanced.
July 23, 2022 - Soft, touch buttery
July 5, 2022 - great balance, just perfect maturity...but my last one.
