December 7, 2018 - Oxidative nose of marzipan, lemon curd, cardamom, orchid and pine nut. It's full bodied and lush on the palate, but features juicy acidity at the same time. This really is something else. Cardamom, banana peel, vanilla custard, tangerine and Meyer lemon and a big dose of Marcona almond. In several ways this reminds me of a nicely aged Savennieres chenin blanc. Quite tasty and worth the time of whomever decided to hold this back.
January 26, 2018 - Who am I to disagree with a professional rating? What a pleasure to experience 10-year old Chardonnay. Layers of nuance and longer than average finish.
January 17, 2018 - Tasted at the SoDo tasting room, loved it. Pale fresh color and correct chardonnay flavors--a major surprise from a vintage like 2007 11 years out. Just 13.8% abv, too. So novel we bought six. Took one to a gathering of wine geeks the following night. Intact cork, but dark straw color and oxidated. Does not bode well for remaining bottles.
November 21, 2017 - Another bad, dried out cork. Wine was overly acidic at first open but came together after 30-45 minutes of air. Netted out to decent new world chard. Mrs. M liked it more than me.
November 19, 2017 - Really nice, in its prime. Medium weight -- some rich oakiness, but nothing overpowering, but matched by acid. Bright fruit.
July 30, 2017 - Cork was disintegrating but wine was still OK. Not as good as the 2011. We will see what the second bottle is like.
