  Today this wine is fairly tight and linear. It’s lean, lemon and mineral driven, with a long and persistent nickel finish.
  Dry, lean and tight.

  Today’s experience says don’t open another until 2025 at the earliest.

  11/16/2020 - PDX-S Likes this wine:

  PnP Mondavi Chardonnay glass
  A pale lemon hay color, pronounced nose of petrol, lemon, mineral and apple skins.
  Lemon rind, lime, and apricot, rocky minerals, and smoky petrol notes crash around the mouth like turbulent waves breaking in a rocky shore.
  Vibrant and moderately rich with plenty of acid, this wine is overtly complex and has a long mineral driven finish.
  Drink now and easily over the next decade.

  Hats of to this one; served in the middle of a (dis)array of wines, this really held it's own with it's clear cut, chalky terroir-character and eminent balance. A lot fruit here as well, good core as well as backbone.
  From Ejnar.

  Pronounced more, rich citrus (lemon rind, grapefruit) with notable petrol notes. Some smoke too.
  
  On the palate, surprisingly rounded, matching the richness of the nose. More noticeable stone fruit, nectarine notes. Slightly disappointing finish though as the flavours seem to taper off quicker than expected. Also, I wonder if it lacks a bit of acidity and tension. Still very pleasant and versatile wine.
