Thursday, May 19, 2016 - Tasted blind after a night of lots of wine. It was hard to peg as Chardonnay. It was clearly new world and lacked a finish. In fairness, this was tasted against a Grand Cru white Burgundy.

A great wine for starting the evening, but yeah, it would get crushed end of evening, particularly against GC that would cost 5x in price. If you have any others, try it as an aperitif.
