Tight and unyielding - certainly not anywhere near the end of its years! Very mineral, with a compact core of citrus fruit. Will see if it unwinds at 12 years or so...

Un beau Chardonnay, bien droit, moyennement beurré, avec un jolie fruit, mi-citronné, mi-exotique. Jolie amplitude, bel équilibre, très bon sur un repas de poisson aux fines herbes!

Very vintage golden glinted green, like brass that needs a polish.
Sits here nicely in the last of its best years.
Equal parts vanilla spiced whiskey and fleshy super sweet tropical fruits. Grilled pineapple, starfruit, banana, and orange liqueur.

Broad, generous wit lots of tropical fruit while in old world style. Lost a bit of the lift but still really nice to drink 1-3 years from now, will probably not wait longer.
