Has improved over the last bottle. Pale yellow, nose of citrus, chalk and a touch of sweetness, but quite chilled which likely covered the nose to some degree. Crisp lemon with trailing hazelnut, minerals and a silky mouthfeel, long finish sprinkled with a micron of powdered sugar. Day one was more Chablis-like but day 2 provided the greater overall satisfaction, picking up body and depth. Fabulous Chardonnay.

Relatively light in body. Good purity of fruit balanced against a dose of acidity that's not shy. Reminds me a bit of many Chablis at a similar age. A bit more austere than I would prefer as a glass of wine on its own, but certainly well made and would be outstanding with the right food pairing.

Still fresh 11 years in! AR Chard gets better with age. Lemon curd & hazelnut.
