Community Tasting Notes 22

  April 13, 2024 - 13.9% abv. Recent auction purchase (2 bottles).
  Cork in great shape and came out in 1 piece with only the very bottom stained.
  Dark, deep golden color - almost orange. Not very appetizing, really, but I digress.
  This was a deep and rich chard, complex, long, and balanced. Integrated in a way that only age can bring. Not what would I would call youthful, but not exhibiting its age in a mature way. This should hold for a while yet.

  February 21, 2014 - Oxidative, with bruised apple scents and flavors, lacking verve. Hope this is just the one bottle. WO Chards usually age very well.

  July 5, 2012 - Really nice. Was better on day two. Quite a bit of peach and melon with a bit of citrus and a "stone" mineral element with a crisp acidity. Well done. Wish I had more '07's left.

  May 27, 2012 - Flawed, but not completely bad. Tasted a bit maderized. Color was a darkish yellow, which may indicate oxidation. Opened two bottles and both were the same. Very disappointing for such an expensive chardonnay.
