Showing pear, crisp green apple and reductive match stick. Very good but needs about ten more years of cellar age. 2012 not 2011 as app mis-recognized it.

Meyer lemon and minerals, with great acidic zing. With air, the acid seemed to fade and it lost some of its freshness and zip. I liked it more than the rest of the group.

This bottle was the best Rhys Chardonnay I have opened yet. Green apple, lemon curd, and minerals with a nice little hint of vanilla and cream on the finish. Went beautifully with the the first Copper River Sockeyes of the season.

Round aromas and flavors of green apple and some white peach. Some similarities to Meusault.
