As customary on our anniversary, my wife always picks Aubert, and as expected, it was consistent (which is why we love Aubert).
Didn’t have time to decant, but I’ve always found Hudson fruit to be generous and giving at a young age. Sometimes it’s rich and unctuous, but this was dialed back just a touch, yet still hedonistic in style. Signature lemon cream on the nose with brown-sugar spiced pear and tropical fruits. Opulent and silky on the palate with waves of yellow herbed fruit, lemon pound cake, nutmeg and toasty oak. Stylistically, I don’t see how this improves, I think it just gets different (that being said, I had an ‘05 Ritchie Chardonnay a few weeks ago that was shockingly youthful, so YMMV).
