Phantom Chardonnay

Ginger and apple pie. Pretty generous Chardonnay. Happy how this wine is drinking with a couple years on it. Would be interesting in to revisit in another couple years.

Lots of oak.

Lots of oak on the nose.
Smooth like butter with a finish of citrus.
Ready to knock out some proposals and get a few wins. It’s time.

Don't need to comment on this one, for once the label on the bottle doesn't lie. Very highly recommended 👍👍

This is 2016 vintage and a gift opened May 30, 2019 for grilled chicken. The aroma is very mild with touch of vanilla to smooth it out. Taste smooth, dry and hint of apple with vanilla and minimal or no butter. Actually very pleasant and would recommend if you see it. I’ll try again.

... on the nose is butterscotch & Stone fruits; on the pallet tartsness up front with butter and caramel

Might’ve had a poor bottle last time. This one is fantastic. Big, rich, and full bodied. You know the oak is present but it’s balanced and not overpowering. Lots of pear and crepe brûlée. This bottle feels like it has some good short term aging potential.

A notch below last tasting in Sept. Dont feel it’s holding up well. Taking on a lot of buttery tones, oak coming up on the heavy side.

Nice, mellow chard. Smooth, buttery finish

Rich, buttery, almost unctuous, with a toasty, vanilla, and baked apple nose. The creamy butteriness really grabs you and satiny finish really lingers.
