September 7, 2023 - Identical to my tasting note back from May earlier this year. Not my style of Chardonnay but I can see why some may love it.

May 23, 2023 - A bold new world Chardonnay with pronounced oak on the finish. A bit heavy for my palate.

May 21, 2023 - Tasted next to Marcassin, Aubert and Kistler. This was by far my least favorite. The aroma was pronounced honey. If I'd tasted it blind I would not have guessed chardonnay but maybe reisling or other honey-nose varietal. Flavors also had honey notes. Would not want more. The other three chardonnays were far better.

September 10, 2022 - Really beautiful Chardonnay. Perfectly integrated at this point. Elegant and balanced. Nose and palate develops wonderfully as it opens, with elements of pineapple, guava, vanilla, along with floral notes. Moderate acid, long finish.
