Completely smitten with this dense, complex, and entirely palatable Chardonnay.
Yellow straw color that hints at minor oak aging. Beautiful and intense aromas of struck match, toasted marshmallow, baked bread, pineapple, and guava. Absolutely no vanillin coming through. Upon cold opening it was much more tropical focused and then warmed up to become more toasty. Was fun to witness the evolution.
Sharp acid edge and medium bodied. Drinks clean and has a buttered popcorn and golden apple dialect.
Gorgeous! — 2 years ago
I love good wine and don’t mind paying for it if it is truly exquisite. This one didn’t meet that expectation. Medium body with a nice finish but it lapsed in the middle when it almost went silent. Had hoped it would express more over time but after about 2 hours it fell flat. Oh well, win some, lose some. — 3 years ago
A grape from Piemonte I didn’t know, apparantly lost but coming up again due to the younger generation winemakers. I’m in! Transparant in colour, gamay like taste and very light on it’s feet. But it’s a silent killer with it’s 14,5%. Very pleasant surprise! — 4 years ago

Vintage 2019 | I love this wine. It’s a idiosyncratic character. A Beast. Not willing to show charm. Very old school: classic smell, peat, cedar. Hint of chocolate. I thought it to be a Tannat, that says it. Put away in the cellar for another 3 - 5 years and get it on a windy, rainy autumnday for a dinner with wild boar of deer. Probably you will be amazed and witness a miracle. — 2 months ago
