Well done @Rajat Parr & @Sashi Moorman! What a acid management. Crispy, fresh and salty. Everything I love in a good Chardonnay. The only question is: Will this wine get more complexity after some cellaring. I wish so.

Showing beautifully from magnum. Bright, zippy, and layered with minerality.

Good and lean but nothing revelatory.

Amazing wine! Layers of brioche and fresh lemon pastry on the nose continue through to the palate. Hints of butter show up on the tongue - but shining through is the focused acid core with still a softness to the finish. Could drink this all day!

In youth this is a sharp as can be with a bright lemon lime freshness. 8 years of age have converted this from Chablis to White Burg, with a beautiful, round butterscotch and Meyer lemon. Day two: white flowers, delicate perfume, gun flint.

Oldest Sandhi I’ve tried and just lovely. This has plenty of life left.
