Tasting Notes
| Allen Meadows, Burghound 92-95 | |
| Quite surprisingly, this is aromatically more elegant, at least at present with green apple, citrus blossom and subtle wood influence that is picked up by the big, rich, powerful and driving flavors that are actually no more concentrated but there is better depth, more minerality and a bit more length. Impressive. | |
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 92 | |
| Subtly complex nose combines peach, apple, pear, minerals, hazelnut and smoke. Explosively fruity in the mouth, with firm acidity and brisk citrus flavors giving the mid-palate terrific focus and lift. As rich as this is, it conveys a lovely light touch. Finishes firmly structured, vibrant and very long. A very good year for this style. | |
| Wine & Spirits 94 | |
| This starts seemingly simple, an elegant chardonnay with tart apple flavors and mild richness. As the wine takes on air, the texture grows increasingly silken while complexities emerge in bosky, fresh pear skin and subtle earth flavor. There's nothing obvious about it, except it has a long evolution in bottle ahead. | |
| Wine Spectator 95 | |
| Solid and compact right now, this is a powerful, concentrated white, showing a chalk flavor under the butter and apricot. Gathers spead across the palate, building to a long finish. Needs time to integrate and realzie its full potential. | |
