Seems like this is past it's prime. It is more of a dessert wine. There is no acidity to speak of. It seems flabby. But there is delicious notes of apricot, honey, green apple and pineapple. It's quite delicious, just wish there was more acidity. However, it's still lip-smacking good. Outstanding

  March 1, 2010 - This is the last of two cases. Best QPR Chardonnay that we have purchased in the last few years. Unfortunately, we waited too long to finish the last bottle. The fruit has faded to the point that it is a shadow of what it once was.
