Drinkable, but seems too big and hot. Decent, but a bit too old and oaky for a SB. 14.4% not refreshing. Super heavy premium bottle makes a statement.comes access like it was made using big Chard techniques for a delicate grape.

Just amazing evolution over the course of dinner. Also Brick House Les Dijonnais. The Walter Scott Chardonnays were amazing - Rock Salt and Freedom Hill. And Lingua Franca Mimi's Mind...Cheers!

Good, but mature. Dark dusty black fruits, some good spice, Nice, but not epic.

Big burly and ripe flavors. Good, but clearly outclassed by the 2018 version. Tons of fruit here, but at 20’years old, still little nuance.
