Light yellow color, faint citrus nose initially which expanded with time to a mixed citrus nose, dense fruit (mixed citrus plus faint pear notes) with something woody other than oak in the background. An excellent mouthfeel which was very clean and pure finishing with a long smooth mostly citrus finish. Just the right amount of acidity to make it a great match with pan roasted Alaskan halibut. Drinks well now but will likely be good for a few years (always hard to predict!). Purchased upon release from KB.

This wine reminded me of Greg Brewer’s Diatom series. Chardonnay in its purest form. Like frosted glass. I can’t come up with flavor profile adjectives- icy pond, cloud-like, frost. It is in a word- perfect ph factor. Absolute zero. I don’t know if this will evolve more or not, or if it does, to what. Maybe too high of a score- others may interpret at a more profound level.
