Full bodied, lush Chardonnay with a lot of complexity and some fresh acidity that gives it balance. Score would have been higher if the aroma weren’t fairly muted. I would also prefer a bit less oak and a bit more acid, but that’s my preference.
Initial flavor impression is tropical - pineapple and ripe starfruit, maybe ripe pear - along with a rich dollop of butter and coconut, clear French oak. Grapefruit flavors come shortly after and then white flowers, a little bit of roasted zucchini and some mineral notes, all of which linger in an extended finish.

Bright fresh nose with grassy undertone. Mix of lemon, grapefruit, butter palate with mix of acidity and roundedness. Subtle finish that lasts. Will probably get better if stored a bit longer.

Couple of glasses from Coravin. Very fine indeed. Ready now and ten years from now. My body will soon be a corpse. So why wait?

먹자마자 어렸을 때 자주먹던 스카치 버터 캔디가 떠오름. 오키한 미국 샤도라고 생각할 수 있겠는데 처음에는 오히려 참기름스러운 뫼르소가 떠오름. 물론 마시다보면 뫼릐소는 절대 아니다싶긴 한데 여튼 특이한 경험임.
