  Another wonderful bottle of this wine from a case purchased on release. Bright lustrous golden yellow color. Slightly nutty, creamy and lemony nose. Palate does show some butter and fresh stone fruit in addition to the citrus and some vanilla. Long finish with plenty of zippy acidity yet rounded with rich texture.

  This has integrated nicely since my last go in 2019. Terrific complexity. Getting closer to a lean bodied feel. A bit rough at the finish but I'm starting to expect that with these wines. The expression trumps the build most often. This vintage doesn't quite have the heft for a real long sleep in my estimation. One to drink while the denser vintages age. These wines can be quite compelling.

  Nice fruit- apricot, slight peach, lime, orange - nice citrus, nice floral, honeysuckle, good acidity. Bright. Really enjoyable.

  Medium gold. A lovely mature wine with a shy nose that nonetheless shows beautiiful tones of dried fig and sourdough toast. Rich salty fig and dried apricot fruit on the palate supporting a prominent winding of acid. Very long sinuous finish. What a lovely wine moving into wise old age.

  One of the best chardonnays we have had as it has lovely acidity with hint of salinity balanced with citrus and a hint of spice. Very complex.
