and the Syrah in new barrels

Not surprisingly at only 10 years of age

This is a very nice effort in terms of its balance and density but it’s carrying more wood influence than I can personally warm up to as it sweetens and rounds off the finish somewhat

crispness and bite

all of which is trimmed in admirably discreet wood influence

Chablisienne, Chablis Mont Milieu Vintage:2017 and the Syrah in new(from vines that face due south). This is notably ripe though the nose stops just short of expressing exotic fruit aromas and I particularly like the plethora of Chablis characters present on the pear and citrus scents. There is excellent richness, volume and density to the full bodied flavors that possess plenty of minerality on the powerful lemon inflected finale that is both persistent and quite dry. Very fine quality here. 93 2021+
