500ml format; arrived today and drinking tonight. Smells like a lemon-vanilla scone just out of the oven. So yummy on the palate — perhaps a bit more of s tart tatin flavor profile, with a minerality that emerges on the very long finish. This is complex, delicious, and just demands drinking. Bravo!

Really excellent. Pale yellow. Nose of stone and lemon with floral overtones. Apple, yellow and white fruit. Good acid and mineral structure. Long finish. The oak is not intrusive. ABV12.6 so sprightly. PM or Chablis at PC level or above.

Pale straw color. Good acid backbone and crisp long finish. Stone fruit flavors, pear and peach.

This wine is in a very happy place at the moment.... screaming tension and energy, easily mistaken for older vintage 1er Cru Bourgogne. Only at a fraction of the price.

Delicious CA Chardonnay, with crisp citrus and lemon peel flavors, excellent acidity and and a really nice finish. Great now, possibly better in a year or so.

Citrus, med - body, med acid, bit dilute. Perfectly nice and correct but a poor QPR
