95+ here. While the price hikes are frustrating (across almost everyone, unfortunately), these are still so good and worth it (to a degree). These are my wife’s favorite wines, and when she wants one, I’m happy to open and indulge!
Double decanted for an hour, then followed out of bottle the next two hours.
Being the only Napa Chardonnay in the portfolio, I love these (and Hudson) earlier on than the others as the opulent factor is dialed up. Yellow-gold in the glass. Tropical yellow fruits, ginger, baking spices and honey roasted cashews aromatically. Killer texture on the palate…rich but not flabby. Lemon cream, cinnamon, honeycomb, ripe white peach upfront before a sweet/savory spice at the finish. Even on the early side, this is ready to rock. Open now with a decant, or hold for a few more years before it sheds baby fat (but I love that about Aubert).
