'Ma Belle-Fille' Chardonnay

Held up clean and bright. Beautiful tropical, butterscotch tones nice acid balance and backbone! 2006 vintage

Big ol butter ball

Fat.

Should not have kept it this long - the pain of offsite storage but it’s still very nice. The nose is light/gone, buttery smooth with a light finish. Can’t recall how much acid this had early on in its life but it’s only there lightly now. Not dead but I’m drinking these asap.

Clean out the offsite storage locker and found a couple old ones. The Kistler I had for a while in the home cellar refrigerator at this age was shot. This while definitely mellowed, is nice and enjoyable. I found another Kistler that has always been offsite that I might just open soon to check.

Should have drunk sooner. Trying to burn through these.

Drank via Coravin over ~3 weeks. Was as it’s best as we finished the bottle.

Good weight.

Way too young!

After being open for 30 minutes, it was Divine!!!
