Besides conducing to complexity

powerful and brooding big-bodied flavors possess outstanding volume and mid-palate concentration where the abundant dry extract serves to buffer the very firm and imposing tannic spine on the hugely long finish

Re-tasting the 2019 Chardonnay Freedom Hill Vineyard

I very much like the texture of the middle weight flavors that possess both good density and minerality that become more apparent as the lingering and youthfully austere finish sits on the palate

This should benefit from a few years of cellaring to develop a bit more depth

Young at heart still, there are raspberry notes, a sappy fruitiness to the acidity and the tannins are very fine. Its neat and precise and drinking well now, theres no major hurry to drink up, but I'm not sure whether this will ever take on any great complexity.
