Very grassy. Key lime pie, green apple, and a load of primary yeast flavor. This is beautifully balanced and I think it will benefit from some time in bottle. Disgorged 2019 — 5 years ago

New world Chablis emulation but with a little more ripe fruit character and butter notes. Butter mochi, ripe green apple, cooked apples. Really tart finish with duality if fruit character. 0 new oak usage in this wine, fermented in used oak barrels and battonage for a year. Not your typical Napa chardonnay by any means but elegant and pretty. Perfumed and pretty. — 7 years ago

Min första Salon, en -96:a. Fantastiskt små och intensiva bubblor och en fräsch chardonnayfärg; häftig nästan bitsk men med finess fylld näsa av citrus, äpplen och mineraler; enorm syrarik smak där syran är med ända till den långa eftersmaken tar slut; smaken innehåller mer komponenter än jag kan fantisera ihop och mer än alla andra BdB jag provat tidigare. Slutsatsen är att trots sina 18 år är detta vin mycket ungt, ett barn, som förmodligen kommer bli en stor personlighet om ett par decennier.
