This was amazing! Purchase from winery during a tasting back in the day with my Dad. WOTN for everyone. So young tasting. Never would have even guessed close to 2008. I’d drink more Chardonnay if it tasted like this.

A brighter, lighter nose. Fresh hints of melon, mint. Lovely poise and definition on the midpalate. Good length.

Somewhat Burgundian, but not very balanced or even that tasty. Way too $ for what it is.

Balance, acidity, great character, better than many of the grand cru white burgundy following this tasting
