  January 3, 2021 - Day-1 = 87pts
  Day-2 = 95pts
  Crystal clear but deep golden color for this 10yr-old beauty. It remibds me of a wonderful clear jewel. Clear legs quickly form and drip on the edge while bigger, slow dripping legs continue to form and drop and repeat for several minutes.
  The nose is clean with pronounced intensity. If blind tasted, it could pass as a red wine. There is olive and minerality and slight bitterness and slight MA with slight chalk and asparagus, caramel bacon grease and alcohol on the nose.
  The palate is dry with high acid, full body and is very, very smooth. I got slight graphite, mushroom gin, candy apple and nutiness and pecan.
  Finish = 1min 10secs
  Lemon, honey, minerality, yeast, wet rock, grass, chalkboard, meatiness, mineral water...
  Conclusion: The first day was a bit of a letdown. But on day-2 it lived up to its reputation, coming back with avengance. So smooth, so flavorful, so BEAUTIFUL! Mount Eden Vineyards never dissapoints - It will remain my favorite!

  June 4, 2014 - A bit more toast than I expected, but still balanced. A might short, but a good price for a Chardonnay with some sophistication.

  May 6, 2014 - Aroma: wet stone and oyster shell with notes of spice and honey. Palate: lime and minerals with saline notes. Not as austere as a Chablis, but in the same vein. Excellent complexity and structure and good length. Very good.
