Pale straw. Bit of sulphur to blow off, then fresh pear, apricot, green apple. Nice medium+ body and juicy medium+ acid. More apricot, vanilla, hint of lemon on the palate. Like it!

At the open: Smells of lemon, grapefruit citrus, and flint Tastes of lemon, sour grapefruit/green apple, and a touch of orange with good minerality Moderate & consistent acidity
After 45 minutes: Smells of lemon and faintly burnt match Tastes of balanced lemon and grapefruit cream supported by proper core minerality.
This hits its stride at 45 minutes and is a solid effort. Not overly complex, but refreshing, correct, reliable and confident.

Such a beautiful white Burgundy -- only made in the Virginia Blue Ridge mountains from Chardonnay grapes grown at an levation of 1300 ft. Refreshing and mineral with bright lemon-y citrus. Long finish. The structuring acidity, emphatic on release, is very approachable now and assures a drinking life over the next five to six years.

At the open: Smells lemon botrytis and flint/stone Tastes of tart green apple balanced by convincing minerality Firm high acidity with fruit taking a back seat; very fresh
This is fairly lean, but it's refreshing and correct; a nice pairing for shellfish; reliable and precise.

This may be one of the best white wines I've had, crisp, minerality, key lime, long lasting finish, so delicious.
