August 2, 2023 - This was an amazing chardonnay, very concentrated with a big mouthfeel followed by high acidity putting it balance.
The oak is a bit strong at the moment for my taste would be really interested to taste it in 5-10 years.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 16, 2023 - This is very good, reminds me of Giaconda, the same liquid gold feel in the mouth. Mouth coating and rich but remains light on its feet. Good freshness. Notes of peach, vanilla, pear and honey dew melon. Long long finish and there is complexity here already, going to score higher in a few years. Drinking beautifully now, expect it to drink well for the next decade.

February 16, 2023 - Approachable and good now. Some creamy butter elements and fruit. Decent weight with a great finsih. Nose somewhat reticent. With time opens up and kicks in acidity and sone spice.
Maybe should have debanted a few hours
Probably improce a fair bit in bottle
13.9% which is good.
