  There was a little more alcohol to this bottle but otherwise lots of white flowers and nice salinity. Just not as balanced as some of the other chapoutier Blanca I have had.

  Double decanted for 30 min, deep gold, unctuous honey with stone fruit; delicious, but less opulent than previous bottles, drink or hold

  SO'd for an hour deep gold, unctuous honey with stone fruit; outstanding, drink or hold (held up over 3 days - likely long life ahead)

  Had in on Sunday afternoon at The Breakers in WPB. It's the second bottle we had of this wine, the first time we thought we over decant it so now was just a PnP.
  
  The wine is clear, medium body, refreshing but nothing great or memorable, maybe we don't understand it but to me is over rated and not worth the price.

  Oh my. I might have to redefine my rating of whites after this one. Honeycomb, melon on the nose. Still great acidity, some spice on the end, honey, cantaloupe, chamomile, butter, almonds… wow.
