It is highly challenging not to be drawn to the intense golden hue of this brilliant cold vintage Chardonnay. Needing an hour in the decanter to fully evolve, this stunning wine opens with an intense bouquet of roasted pineapple, apricot and Pazazz apple with wild mushroom undertones that all shine brightly in the glass. The soft and downright silky mouthfeel impresses as this gracefully glides across the mid-palate. Bright honeydew melon, pineapple upside down cake, vanilla cream and damp earth tones round out the palate. The combination of weight and tension in the glass is really thrilling. While gorgeous at the eight year mark, this beautiful wine still has a decade or more ahead of it. Drink 2019-2031- 95

I shit you not... cheese and Konsgaard, sublime. The 11 is the better vintage IMO. Displays more weight and depth. A touch sweeter, with more grace.

Holy Saint Nick this is in a magnificent place. Candied pear, honeysuckle and brioche engulf you and make you stop and take notice. Really spectacular right now.
