From what I’ve gathered, 2005 was a difficult vintage chez Overnoy. That being said, this was exactly as you might expect - wondrous and complex. Waxen but austere, mineral and slight twang but everything integrated and sewn up. No need to drink now but it is wide open, considering. I’ve also been intrigued to learn about the chemistry of wines like this, and so I ran this on the Foss at the winery:
TA: 7.42g/L
VA: .69g/L
Abv: 12.12%
pH: 3.24
RS: 0g/L
Malic: 0g/L
Lactic: 3.8g/L

So often when a wine goes into unicorn status, it's not only hard to find, but also veers toward the more-is-more style. What I love about this wine is it's quiet grace, with that Jura twang so seamlessly integrated in its core but yet not loudly demanding attention. Singular. Compelling. Remarkably priced on the list in Quebec.

Fantastic. Rich and ample, a powerful showing of the Chardonnay.
