May 21, 2010 - Butterscotch but nice. Has had better days, but not bad now. A little cloudy which does not bother me. Not oxidized like many other late 90's are.

February 21, 2008 - This sample did not fair very well. Intense caramel and butterscotch with an oxidized element. I found it consistent with my notes from my previous tasting in 2006. This needs really needs to be consumed now.

July 21, 2007 - An outstanding bottle of fully mature chardonnay with nice acidity. Nice floral tones with a hint of apricot.
