Last btl. Gorgeous, tactile tension meets pleasing depth and richness. Drinking perfectly right now

Awesome to revisit this with some bottle age on it. Uncoiled, more presence on the nose and weight on the palate without sacrificing the precision I remember it having. Those nervy edges are starting to unravel. Carmalized apple/pear, golden orchard fruit and blossom, tart sweet citrus, spice laden minerality, almost salty on the finish. Pleasant surprise

I love old Chardonnay. Toast, funky cheese and bliss. Like an old Chablis.

Kick ass chardonnay! Pure, balanced, rich but not too heavy, wonderful mid palate and finish.

Like Patrick Puize Chablis, but from Cali. Toasted and citrus with hints of oyster shells. Terrific.
