Incredibly rich and ready to go off the bat, this is a California Chardonnay beauty. While I love mature (or really mature like 50 years or so) white Burgundy and great California Chardonnay from the nineties, this can be drunk now without hesitation.
Enjoy!

Liquid gold! The aroma and taste are super focused. Popcorn, honey scent, citrus are exploding in your palate with a long long finish. However, the body is a bit too strong. The balance is prone to sweet and creamy, so the multi-layer characters are buried under that. Time may improve that.

Yellow color with a bouquet and flavor dominated by excessive oak with only hints of an apple and citrus core. I would be surprised to see improvement with age and cannot explain the difference in my impression from that of other tasters who found the wine quite good if not exceptional.
