Strawberry, stone, young fruit. Delicious.

Tasted blind, from magnum. Bright amber-tinged flamingo color. At first, an oxidative nose. But over the night, this showed notes of orange marmalade, rose water, quince, light honey and some caramel. Lots of energy in the glass still. This powered through the night and a last glass before departing showed this wine has a lot to give. Guessed 76 Dom Rose.

This is a beauty. It strikes an impeccable balance between the pure chardonnay fruit and the red bursts of fruit from the still pinot noir addition. Has developed a pleasant toasty complexity in the finish, a joy to drink.

Just a few pics of the wines from last night’s monthly 4th Friday. Too many bottles to try!
There is A LOT to like here right now. Delicate aromatics of rose petal, strawberry cream and cherry tart but it turns more powerful and rich on the palate. Strawberry shortbread, red fruit skin, chalky limestone and a finish that turns slightly herbal. The structure here shows that this will be open for business for quite a while.
