  nice nutty airy lees signature, a little cooked fruit, citrus and crunchy peach...
  
  tense and fresh on the palate, incisive acids and rich texture combine beautifully
  
  classic Chardy finish, beautiful balance, intense acidity carries everything long

  Tasted over several hours with and without food. 13.1% labeled ABV. Bright light lemon yellow color. Nose has light vanilla notes and a touch of cream along with lemony citrus and ripe pear. Palate is crisp but mellow showing moderate depth and indications of at least partial malo (?). Neutral French oak barrel fermented with lees aging. Nice texture. Fresh and clean. Modestly long finish. Well-done but limited in scale and scope.
