Fantastic aromas of stewed peaches and ripe passion fruit, thicker mid palate finished with minerality (on the saltier side). Oak and fruit have integrated nicely over the past 7.5 years.

Solid tannins and bright fruits 11 years in. An enjoyable bottle with and without food.

Delicious Chardonnay! Nice butter and oak with not too much of either.
