Delicious! Nice nose of peach and apples. Great spine of acidity with a long lingering finish

Very oaky. A pity, because it has a lot of other things going for it, a good steeliness, nice acid, lemon curd, white flowers, velvety mouthfeel. Not my style.

Great bottle of CA chard. It drinks almost identical to 2006 Louis Latour Corton Charlemagne. Spectacular mouth feel. Full wine with slight minerality and light butterscotch.

Crisp and clear in glass, a touch of light staw color. Nose opens with stone fruits and some vanilla undertones, which carry to palate with rich, yet restrained flavors of mango, white peach and bannana, supported by just the right amount of oak and minerality for an outstanding result. Long finish, everthing in perfect balance. Absolutely fantastic with a grilled King crab leg course. 92++
