I didn't love this. The quality of the Chardonnay fruit didn't impress, and there was no energy or freshness in this bottle. Disappointing for this cuvee.

Beautiful, very deep, youthful color. Nice balance on the palate, fruit and pleasant secondary notes try to peek through, but the overall package is marred by a bitter cedary element. No improvement with air.

No notes taken. This showed a youthful ruby-crimson color, smokey fruit, and considerable bell pepper. Very well balanced and easy drinking, lots of life left. This drank well immediately after opening and didn't change much through the evening.
