Not bad. But so much oak spice it masks anything else other than the acidity.

Nose of crushed rocks, lemon and chalk. Almost chablis like! The palate is lemon and some exotic fruits too lurking backstage all along a massive acid backbone, a great grip, and a long fruity finish. This is a power house of a wine, definitely different from an old world chardo.

Great to drink while pondering what might have been if Burr had thrown away his shot.
