  Very nicely done Chardonnay: a crowd pleaser but not a quaffer.

  Citrus, lemon notes predominate, alcohol on the back end. Underlying richness present but not yet integrated. The future will tell, but it's not yet ready for a curtain call.

  Method: I'm getting over a cold, but don't think it's affecting my tasting; pop and pour; Burg glass; starting at fridge temp
  
  Look: medium- straw green
  
  Nose: key lime pie filling, faint vanilla, faint minerality
  
  Palate: lime; medium+ finish lime, lemon grass, grass, herbs, light flint; dry; medium- body; high- acidity; light- tannin
  
  Overall: Pretty tight and highly structured, with strong acidity. This it decently linear and not giving a ton right now, but I think it's built to age and has very good up side. Very good wine.
  
  I have one more bottle and I'll try wait 7 - 10 years.

  Palate: key lime pie filling, lemon grass, mineral; smooth, medium body; high - acidity
  
  Overall: not super expressive, the most key lime pie I’ve gotten from a wine which is fun; really nice structure
