  Beautiful chardonnay. I love the weight of this wine, more Burgundian. Needs at least an hour decant if you don't want to be overwhelmed by oak. The oak needs time to integrate a bit more but grilled pineapple and lemon zest form the foundation. Wine is very balanced throughout. I believe this wine might hit another level with a bit more time. 94+ Great upside.

  Splash double decant, deep gold, tropical fruit (mainly pineapple), long finish; outstanding & one of the finest chardonnays I have had, went beautifully with steamed lobsters, drink or hold

  Brought to our monthly CWG-D by a friend and it was a nice surprised, 2 at the table though it was French while 2 others (me included) picked Napa Chardonnay. The body is medium with apples, melon and toasty smokes. Interesting finish and should get better with 2-5 years of proper cellar...
  
  93+ Hold.
