($56) Yellow-gold. An exotically perfumed nose offers candied orange, licorice and a hint of toasty lees. The most opulent of this set of chardonnays but there's uncanny vibrancy in play as well. Really expands with air, picking up a sexy floral and spice character, with a mineral note coming up. Finishes youthfully vibrant and long, with heady finishing notes of pit fruits, fennel and spices.

Fruit, flower, oak and grass. This has a nice balance of all. Should just get better.

this was a "top-off" and well worth the price - its elegance and poise puts similarly priced chards in the dust. the most well-balanced B-C chard of the vintage!
Low-light B-C

Bright straw gold hue. Fresh cut hay, light stone fruit bouquet with flinty minerals. Lime and guava on attack rolling to a white flower, honey, and marzipan finish. A bit green throughout, shockingly for B-C; would drink sooner than most from B-C too. Zesty acidity works well with food, clean finish overall. Not sure if there was a bit of heat damage to this bottle - very austere compared to a previous bottling.
