A small gathering at Bryan's (Undisclosed location in McLean, VA): Ex La Tour D’Argent bottling. Surprise by the beautiful light golden color. Initially a bit fat and subdue nose. With air, expressive nose displaying ripe sweet yellow fruit with a hint of white, lemon, lemon curd, apple, lanoline, coconut, a hint of butterscotch, vanilla/oak, sweet spices and mineral. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of rich sweet yellow fruit, oily and rich, but also good balance, medium acidity, strong mineral, and a long rich ripe yellow fruit driven finish with vanilla and lanoline at the end. This actually has aged correctly and is drinking well.

Small vertical, non blind... Not as good as one would expect from this appellation and producer, rather short follow through but still nice acidity and fruit component.

Glorious white burg here. Young, dense yet seamless and regal, with strong notes of vanilla and quince. Close to a perfect chardonnay bouquet for my mileage, fruity without heaviness, great acidic spine, long and delicious. 93-94 pts.
