January 12, 2015 - Second bottle, a little tight on first opening but over the next 2 hrs and then esp on day 2 it opened beautifully. A fair amount of oak and butter but soft and an easy food match. I may need to buy more.

December 23, 2014 - An odd harsh edge in initial opening, I questioned taking a friends advice and buying a few bottles. This blew off fairly quickly, fortunately.
As it opened it softened and was much more approachable - light oak and butter, pear and lychee. -

December 6, 2014 - Right out of the bottle, i was nervous. Deep golden color and strong oak smell, almost corked. After 30 minutes this subdued and left a powerful chardonnay still fun of oak and ripe fruit, powered by full bodied aromas and long mouthfeel. I would say it peaked about a year ago, but was still worth holding on to experience with a little more bottle age. Drank with slow roasted halibut, Kung Fu Girl Riesling reduction, roasted carrots, snow peas, melted leeks and a side of capellini. Nice Sat dinner with sturdy SRH chardonnay. Glad to have had 6 bottles of this Two Sisters wine over the last 4 years.

July 8, 2014 - Last of a case on discount that we consumed over the past year. Peaked last summer/fall and now seems to be getting a little flabby and oaky. Overall, a nice balance of old and new world.
