One of my favorite whites of the night and one of many people's wines of the night. Decanted the entire 3 hours this was a beauty. Complex aromas and flavors of minerality like slate and gun flint, an amazing palate that was light on its feet but massively textured with perfect acidity and maturing fruit notes.

Two years since last bottle from case. Slightly fruitier than I expected at first. Nice balance, as it warmed became really nice. Very mild oak, white blossoms.

An aged almost over the edge white Burg medium yellow color and hints of oxidative notes on nose carrying through but balanced by firm yet rich texture on palate and finish. Great with oily garlic shrimp

Really balanced. Started to shine after it had been open a half hour and warned a bit. Saline up front with vanilla and mellow oak, floral notes, minerality, tree fruits. Delicious.

A little Chardonnay tasting w a friend. Here's good balance that demands some time n temp. But still rich barrel n fresh exotic fruit. Mango mote than lime.
