Vintage 2011 - a bit austere, I even tasted a sherry-alike tone. True to type, I guess.

2011-funky Chardonnay from the Jura! Not everyone's fave but I like - so savory - oxidized orchard fruit, candied lemon, cheese!

Zipppppyyy. On the nose, candied lemon peel and very slight oxidation. In the mouth, almonds, minerals, beeswax and lemons. Very high acid (hence the "zip"), brings the nuttiness forward on the medium-long finish. Great with salted nuts and Comté.

A bit confused. Is this premOx? It definitely tastes much more oxidized than when I tried it in Jura in 2013. Storage has been optimal, and I brought this back in my carry-on. Disappointed.
