An ultra prestigious Chardonnay, outstanding intensity and complexity, big nose of whipped cream and pineapple, more ripe tropical fruits and a bit of citrus on the palate. Tremendous wine.

Bright and fresh. Grapefruit and lemon on nose, toasted almond and wet leather on palate.

Pure mouth-filling wonder! Once again reminded how essential it is to be patient with these beauties...ripe, round, weighty, the wine is inching toward balance between the alcohol, acidity, and oak. Lush notes of pineapple, guava, nectarine, and tea-biscuit give way to waves of lingering finish notes. The wine perfectly lifted fried lobster dumplings in brown butter. Sometimes you just need a lush Chardonnay not from burgundy! Worth every single penny and the effort to find a bottle!
