Fairly intense, if still tighly framed with elements of ripe apples, fresh lemons, cream and subtle toast comfortably combined in both its beautifuly composed aromas and deep, many-layered flavors, this vital youngster is again exceptionally well-balanced with a full, fleshy feel and firming acidity in a near-perfect fit, and it is rich, pert and substantial- at one and the same time. Its flavors go on and on at the finish, and, even though it is already expressive, it too is a Chardonnay that ideally wants a few years before drinking.
