From a Coravined bottle. Deep nose of black fruit. Dry and tannic still. Lost some of its fruit I think due to coravin tappings. Unopened bottles should still keep several years longer. Wait.

Amazing freshness and lemony, minerally aromas. Reminds me of the Western Australia chardonnays but more open. Same mouth impressions, with a chalky component as well. This is far from the big Californian chardonnays from the past. More Burgundian in style but not yet the body of them. This is a lovely wine and very well balanced. Could drink this now but there’s a lot more in store if you wait. Will try against a Chassagne and a Yattarna next week…

Notes from a bottle that was tapped with Coravin a couple of times by now. first time about 3-4 months ago. From memory the impression was pretty much the same now as the first time. The wine is a bit muddy or cloudy so something isn't quite right. Could be the coravin degraded or prematurely advanced to irrecognition this time. Tastes like a burgundy with some age, very confusing. Unfair note so disregard.
