2023– Best white wine I’ve ever had. So smooth and perfectly sweet. Paired with chicken paillard and Caesar salad with mom and dad — a month ago
Not what I expected i assumed elegance and was surprised that it was so full of fruit at this age. Another 5 yrs would help but right now it so pleasurable. — 2 months ago
Wow big luscious Chardonnay. Best I have had in years. 2009 was a great year. Waiting 16 years made it even better — 2 days ago
2018 base. 4 grams dosage and disgorged 4/22. Nose is all wet earth and yeast. Lemon peel, toast, citrus (tangelo?) skin as well. Really nice, layered and complex aromas. Lonely, mineral and tree bark aromas as well. Palate is juicy and clean with explosive lemon and grapefruit citrus fruit and terrific purity and freshness. Good sap and very clean. Needs air as I reckon this has more to tell. Nose gets some saline as well with air and the palate becomes juicier. It’s very good but so far not special. Really has good palate presence. — 2 months ago
Decanted for about 2-3 hours before serving. Incredible nose and flavor profile. Very gamey. Lots of stewed fruit. Little medicinal. But came through and paired exceedingly well with lamb kebabs.
Had a little funk as it aired out but really sang at hour 4-5. Good grip. Will be excited to open the next one — a month ago
Mature but still vibrant with soft fruit and modest acidity. — 2 months ago
