Opened and let breather >1 hour. Hints of minerality, wet stone & gravel but still the needed components for a great Chardonnay. Powerful and overshadowed a 2012 Figgins Red and a 2015 Ayoub Mojo. Didn't drink it with the lasagna but was the unanimous choice of the evening.

Out of magnum, liquid sunshine. Maybe if I'm quibbling I miss a little acidity in this bottle that some of my favorite Aubert chards can hit, but this was no slouch at all, and much loved by the dinner party.

Texturally and visually dense but nice acidity to keep it fresh. Honey, stone fruit, oak and mineral. Expressive but not cohesive at the moment. Give it five years.

This is unbelievable California chardonnay. If anything it's a little young. Decanted an hour before, was still rocking at hour 5. Phenomenal nose, so much going on, think top end Montrachet. White stone fruit, minerality, oak, underlaid by honeysuckle. Rich rich rich.

Wow!! Incredibly silky in your mouth. Full bodied. Smells of lemon on the nose. A pleasure to drink. Decanted and enjoyed over 3ish hours. An absolute treat.
