I thought the first bottle was a bit flawed, so opened a second one as well. Apparently neither flawed, but void of character, rather short and dull even. The tannins have softened OK, but overall seems not (yet?) a properly developed wine - was this still too young?

This wine seems to have developed to its peak, question mark? It is somewhat bland, delicate, not very fruity and lacks the kind of structure and body I would like in my wines. I'm drinking this with cheese and snacks, I guess pairing with proper food would be a better match, still I am not too impressed. I have other Bordeaux wines from same vintage and this is clearly the most flat, still there seems nothing technically wrong. No wow effect on this one.

A very nice, elegant, crispy chardonnay. Slightly oaked. Paired well with saltimbocca.
