  Needs time. First day is showing nothing. Has some apple, peach on the nose. Drinks like lemon flavor San Pellegrino. Second day is much better, honey, white flower, mineral.

  This was incredibly crystalline and bright with acidity. Probably too young to be fully enjoyed. Nice minerality and a range of light tropical, citrus and orchard fruit notes hiding under the structure. Zesty finish. Needs age in the cellar. Highly likely better in 5 years or more.

  Color: light gold
  Nose: white peach, mandarin zest and lemon zest, pollen, mint, wet stones and fresh laundry. Good intensity, and ever-changing nuances keep this very interesting
  Palate: medium-high acidity, medium-full body with strong presence and a good texture. This is confirming the nose
  Finish: medium
  
  Very nice, well-made, intense. Very stern and not playful at all, something frankly i can get behind you can tell these folks are chardonnay masters. Right now this is a food wine imo, with white fish this would deliver. It did not go very well with a broccoli rabe pasta - it got a bit metallic what with the bitter tinge of the rabe. It makes no sense to drink this cold, room temp is plenty fine, and some air helps, 45 mins or so.

  First wine in a seven course wine and food pairing NYE party.
  This is an excellent dry, crisp fruit driven wine. Extremely bright and steely when cold (blind, would have guessed SB) but rounds out nicely as it warms. Definite citrus to go with stone fruit. Went really well paired with a crab dish.
