Smooth slight pineapple but not too tart. Buttery, but not too sweet. Refined. — 4 months ago
I liked the uncharacteristic subtle sweetness from plum and dark fruits. Add a touch of leather and vanilla, soft tannins, and this one was smooth. Good stuff! — 8 months ago

Honey, butterscotch, ginger, vanilla, melon, pear. Oily, buttery texture. Rich. This is amazing. — 22 days ago

Seems to have lost a little crispness over 5-1/2 years but still quite good with long finish — 5 months ago
Weeknight treat. Medium body, creme brulee on nose and some custardy finish but great acid. Just so many great things to love in this chardonnay. I still prefer Ma Belle Fille — 9 months ago
A wine full of pear, apple, elderflower and peach flavors in a real round, intense mouthfeel. A nice dry taste with the presence of slate and creaminess — 4 years ago

Medium lemon yellow . Quite open and rich on the nose , with buttered popcorn , toasty oak , lemon confit , honeysuckle and touch of apricot . On the palate this is also quite round but has good balancing acidity to counter the rich profile , with apricot , lemon peel . There is a creaminess to the mouthfeel and the alcohol , though I imagine it to be quite weighty , is well integrated . Lightly toasty , well balanced finish . I think this is drinking pretty well now , no rush , enjoy this over the next 5-8 years. — 2 days ago
