Bought three bottles through Benchmark. The first was premox’d and the second was quite backward. I decided to decant second bottle to give wine a chance but it never really gave up much. I could have a batch of bad bottles; but this landed on a little bit of fruit and mineral on the nose and palate but a fairly short, tight finish. Somewhere between tart and tight. Pretty disappointing.
I’ll update if the third is different.

Softer than the Perrieres, but still has lovely toasty grip and layers of citrus tinged Chardonnay fruit.

Soft chardonnay fruit, a bit flabby, but some nice lemon and stone notes
