Planted in 1979 . This is the last of the original planting. Not even 1 acre left of this original planting.
Close to a PnP - A short decanting is still recommend.
Pale yellow in color.
Palate- Peach, baked apple pie, honeysuckle, orange blossom , splash of spice(dissipates completely after 30 minutes) medium acidity. Modest amount of oak. Finishing with a plethora of tropical fruits, acid, minerality. Polished & layered finish! Damn good bottle.
Well-made Chardonnay. Drink /6-8 years in it.

Jan 5th, 201814' HDV Hyde Comandante Chardonnay. These are the best 2/3 barrels each year.
Decanted it also for an hour. Light golden in color. It taste very much like a great Grand Cru. Martin your spot on. More tropical then citrusy. So much going on in this wine. What pops- peach, honeysuckle , sweet tarts. Very lengthy finish .This chard has a LONG life in front of it. Consumed it close to room temperature. 😍just a kick- ass chardonnay. It's only going to get better with a little more time in the bottle. If you're fortunate enough to have some, try it the middle of next year.
