pow pow this is delicious. A bit of stinky cheesy funk when first poured, but blew off within five minutes. A little bit of matchstick on the nose but the palate is ZOMG. It’s so full of dense sweet fruit, spice and a hint of tropical custard but it’s such a textured and layered wine right now. There is this burliness to it with a structure that enables the wine to expand and expand on the palate. A zesty citrus undertone and acid cuts through the heft of the wine. A year ago I thought it was a bit too fat and needed to shed some of that and it’s doing it in spades. This wine could even use a little more time to tame it’s aggressiveness and that hint of tropical but lordy it is drinking fantastic right now.
I got a feeling this one might age for quite awhile
Confirming again and again that Arcadian is my favorite chardonnay producer in CA
