This was super-oaky on night 1 but on night 2 that’s calmed down. Still a bit of toastiness, but the nose is now showing some delicate Chardonnay fruit as well. Reminds me a bit of Cali Chards from Carneros in the early 80s. Acids are very soft. Finish seems longer on night 2 also.

May 30th, 2020New French oak, lightly toasted, very elegant, vanilla and butter notes, medium + intensity aroma and flavor. On the nose and palate is golden apple, pineapple, apricot, stone fruit, minerality, almond, good acidity, alcohol not too hot, long length, very complex, excellent!
