Not a lot of change since last bottle. Still a weird funky nose and a thin taste profile upon first sips.. With ample air and consumed at just chilled the wine opened up. Definitely a Chardonnay but with some Chenin Blanc waxiness. No idea where this wine is going. I'll dig out my next bottle sometime next year.cheers!

No real change from last year's bottle. I marvel at how unique this wine feels. Should improve with some more aging. I want to score this higher, but I'm still getting used to this different taste profile.

Lemon pie colored. Some ripe stone fruit, hints of the tropics as well. Wet slate. Round, nice acidity. Such an interesting wine. Not heavily oaked. Some lime notes. Will be interesting to see how this develops over the coming years.

Champagnes and whites with Indian food: Ripe fruits both on the nose and the palate, almost like a Chenin. Strong producer signature, good weight to the fruit and judicious use of oak. That along with some skin contact I think gave the wine some heft. Impressive, but not as memorable as the Sauvignon Blanc.

Rich and showy. Ripe chard notes just shy of tropical. Generous and could use time/decant. Good QPR even at current high prices.
