This is van der kamp chard. The nose is bonkers, stone fruit, jasmine (may be influenced by blooming jasmine in SB now), lemon, more stone fruit. It’s so much. Palate is just lovely. Coats entire mouth with flowers, vanilla, apricots, lemons, tangerine, tart nectarine, some sea salt. Let it open for about 3 hours. It’s one of the best chardonnays I’ve had. Long lingering finish. At like the minute mark it almost gets sweet lemon hard candy in the mouth. Begging for another sip.
