Thursday, October 19, 2023 - Judgement of Eagan (Jason's house): Very similar to a bottle a year ago, just a touch subdued this time around. Maybe because it was paired with a 2010 Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlemagne. This really was fantastic in a full-bodied california chardonnay well. Unctuous mouthfeel, spicy complexity and enough lime/acid to keep it balanced.

I've had older ones and they definitely get more butterscotchy and savory. So if you prefer older chardonnay, I'm afraid that you're stuck waiting 10+ years. :(
