My score has decreased over the years due to my palate drifting around a bit, but still really enjoyed this wine. This last bottle is in a nice drinking window, has some buttery/oily texture, with a hint of oak poking through, but doesn't come across too sweet or over the top. Very delicious wine, a full bodied and rich chardonnay.

Creamy, honeyed wine. Similar to the top end Beaucastel white.

Notes somewhat consistent. Very fine chardonnay. Beautiful nose, rich full bodied mid palate with a bit of sweetness and finishes completely different with oak, cream, and minerals. Long long finish. 3 bottles left from the case.

Agree with other reviews - this is a fantastic chardonnay. Beautiful fruit, super focused on the palate, excellent balance. Elegant, and overall just delicious wine. Look forward to trying again soon

This has to be one of the finest Chardonnays I've ever had. Equal to, if not better than, Aubert, this wine was so smooth at such a young age it was astounding. There is little acidity to this wine like that you would get with 99% of the chardonnays in the market. In addition, while it is not over-fruity, there is little, if any, hint of oak on the wine - typically a real knock on the high-end Napa Chards. …

Brilliant. As good as the cabernet sauvignon, this may be better. I'm definitely not a California chardonnay fan but this one is balanced, vibrant, pure, mineral and beautiful. If you'e not a fan of big buttery oaky chards, try this. Well, if you can find it as only 60 or so cases were produced. Superb.
