Strong minerality against a light body and high acid. Really singing, and i think Hardy’s style works well on this fruit. Never meant to “age” it this long as I enjoy freshness & verve with D&R but this has stood up well and is in a nice spot

Really went through some evolutions over the course of two hours after being decanted a few hours prior. Give this air. At times reticent, at times typically D&R electric, enjoyable and intriguing all throughout.

Almost three years from my last bottle. It's still fresh, light and crisp. Needs a good bit of air to open up. Doesn't seem to have the guts of the 2013. Shows more like a Muscadet in style/weight (similar to the bottle I had in 2018). I definitely preferred the 2013 for its greater depth.

Lovely, light on its feet CA Chardonnay. Modesty, balance and grace not typically seen from this state. So very impressive. Still tasting young seven years later.
