an enormously  complex wine, but one that's not quite ready for prime time. mainly chardonnay, with 21% pinot noir, this was aged on its lees for seven years, giving it a soft creaminess and also an intense, doughy yeastiness. the raspberry, lime, toast and vanilla flavors are rich and slightly honeyed. with brisk acidity and slight scouriness, it wants a good eight years in the cellar, and should age well beyond that.
