October 13, 2014 - What a pleasant surprise, after so many years in storage. Just perfect.

August 27, 2009 - A really solid Chardonnay, some oak and toasted vanilla, as well as coconut, some nutty flavors and ripe orange zest, very well balanced and smooth, acidity is noticable but unobtrusive. I have enjoyed 6 bottles of this over the summer and I have liked each one.

July 1, 2008 - This bottle aged very well. It fully developed the depth with the unmistakeable Mer Soleil oak. One of our favorite vintages.

July 21, 2007 - M&D’s: This was a lumber-yard. Completely oaky; intense fruit back there, rich very viscous mth, darker yellow, but couldn’t get past the oak. M&D LOVED it. I could barely finish.
