Stunning wine. Less glycerol body than previously when young. Fruit and acidity in perfect balance. Stone fruits. Perfect despite slightly protruding cork with mold. 34 yeas old! Lots of life ahead but my last bottle alas.
I had a case. One bottle left after this one. Started drinking it too late (2000-teens). Half badly premoxed, half gorgeous. This was a stunning bottle. Color clear med straw. Vanilla, citrus, acid perfectly in balance, lemon hints, exquisite. Long finish. Exactly where a chardonnay old enough to vote should be and better.

Reclusive nose Zero premox. Sweet fruit balanced with soft resolving acid. No power, but 3+ finesse.
