Wow. Maybe the most approachable Aubert chardonnay in its youth. Lemon for miles. Give it a short decant for the acidity to subside. So good. — 5 years ago

Wonderful. It amazes me how youthful this is - as in, just seems to be hitting its drinking window - at 25 years. A long finish and still plenty of tannins. — 5 years ago

Aromas of lemon curd and white flowers. Crushed gravel and stone fruit on the palate. Seemingly a softer oak treatment than his single vineyard chards. Bright acidity on the finish. A wonderful blend. — 5 years ago
