- A ripe citrus spectrum of fruit is at the core of a complex chardonnay with spice, toasted nuts, and gravelly, flint aromas. Palate A pure and focused palate with a bright, crunchy structure and fine acidity. The complex barrel-aged flavors also impart textures that carry on the back of the fine acidity. Cellaring Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for 10+ years. Pronounced notes of gunflint and a struck match on the nose are followed on the palate by ripe citrus and stone fruit flavors. Focused, with a fine core of acidity and an almost crystalline purity on the mid-palate, giving way to a nutty, spicy finish.
