dramatically rich and ripe, a bells and whistles chardonnay made in the white burgundy style. it's flamboyant in pineapple, nectarine, guava and oak- and lees-influenced buttered toast, cream and vanilla crème brûlée, but it's also very acidic and dry, which provides balance and elegance. fine now and for 3 or 4 years.
