Blinded this and thought it might be a Santa Barbara Chardonnay. Not super off I guess. Really pretty.

Like zest, lemons rind, grapefruit, river water, steely and slightly buttery, pithy. Great acidity along a linear structure. — 3 days ago

Great nose and showing signs of maturity. Lurid aromas of red berry fruit, smoked meat, granite, herbs and smoke. Really gorgeous nose. Unreal terroir expression and so so vivid. Brilliant. 9.7 nose. Palate is ripe and juicy with terrific freshness and purity and all red fruits. Maybe a hint of cassis. Such freshness and energy here. Long finish. — 5 months ago

Muscadet of the Alps! Nose is wet hay, wild flowers, minerals, some underarm and more. So complex and expressive. Palate is super juicy and has huge acid and energy but also a pillowy texture and terrific fruit intensity. Long and so pretty. Let’s see what air does. This has gained lovely richness with air. Still a 9.3 but love that contrast with the acids. Also killer finesse. Close to a 9.4. — 9 months ago

Very smooth, with a dense mouthfeel. Deep black fruits like currants/cassis blackberries. Plus a lot of smoke and black pepper, tannins add bitterness but not a hint of astringency or grippiness, just structure. — 5 months ago
