Had the ‘08, ‘11 and ‘13 together—all holding up great, citrus driven with very good acid, gentle toast, even the ‘08 not really slowing down. Slight edge to the ‘11

I had an off bottle of this wine a few weeks ago, but this one was fine. Golden colour, full-bodied wine with a good finish. Not a buttery Chardonnay, but rather a citrusy one. Nose not too complex, but good flavours. The wine is fully mature and managed to hold the drinkers' interest throughout the meal.

This is a stunning bottle. Citrus, Meyer lemon, clean minerals and toasted brioche, full bodied Chardonnay that possesses the structure to take it another decade? Glad I kept three!

Great balance for the style, and complex aromas of pineapple, lemon curd, vanilla and toast. A bit hot for my taste though.

From a bottle "coravined" 15 months ago. My mind is blown. Better than I remembered it. Tropically buttered toast at its finest.
