Chardonnay with a little bit of Savagnin. Typé (oxidative style). PnP and enjoyed over 3 days. Good from the start, just got a bit more intense on day 2. On the nose Curry and mushrooms with a hint of green walnuts and some fresh herbs, on the palate good acidity, medium bodied, long finish. Not as dense as the Savagnin from the same vintage but still very good and a good value for the money. Drink now or within the next 8 years.

Day 1: P&P Aromas of toasted nuts and candied lemon peel, wet slate. With some air, some white flower, banana peel, and slightly mushroomy notes emerged A salty palate with salted candied lemon peel flavours Medium body Excellent to outstanding length This wine is drinking well now but is unlikely to improve much Day 2: Stored in fridge under cork. Same Day 3: Stored in fridge under vacuum sealed stopper. Same, with some subtle fading of aromas 92

Nice nose and floral notes. As other noted oxidative flavor was pretty prominent. I liked it more for a few sips than a full glass. Interesting nonetheless.

This was a little bit too oxidized for my liking but I could see how some might enjoy

Decanted more than a day. Much more balanced, still vivid and chalky , with flavours of wallnuts, gingerbread, bitter almond and methanol.
