Pop & pour, burnt over the hill nose and taste, acidity start to show up after a couple of hours, rather mediocre taste, lacking complexity. Better the next day, acidity and some fruit showing up and improved complexity. Still burnt taste persist, but more enjoyable now. Color looks fine, typical chardonnay hue.

Apricot, high minerality, slightly tart, slight caramel on the finish. Overall, this does drink like an older chardonnay that has aged well. This wine is in significantly better shape than one 11 months ago, that was still quite good. Tonight, the wine is harmonious, elegant and cerebral.

Moslty Oregon and Burgundy (Kevin and Vicki's house): Apricot, high minerality, slightly tart, slight caramel on the finish. Overall, this does drink like an older chardonnay, with good complexity. Unfortunately, the sharp vanilla stands out a little too much, and seems out of place as this wine is not that rich. Nonetheless, this was fun to drink and interesting in the complex flavors/aromas.

Salmon and Pinot Noir at Rocknrollers (Minneapolis, MN): I enjoyed this wine and quite complex overall. Carmel, stones, apple, vanilla and mild oak. Medium plus finish and multilayered flavors. Drinking really well. Drink now to 2021.

This was good wine, but we were expecting great wine.
