  January 5, 2020 - This wine is drinking as well I would expect for a 12 year old constructed chardonnay. It has a lot of depth. Nice viscosity on the tongue. It paired well with chicken picatta and mashed potatoes. The lemon of the dish was complementary. Yellow-honey color and served at 50 degrees made a nice experience. I did not find it too oaky but I got those forward vanilla notes others have noted and then some pear and pineapple notes. Still perfectly balanced at this juncture without any flatness. It still has adequate acidity if you wanted to cellar longer, but would not go to much longer. I have one bottle left. Should have bought more. Actually a gift

  February 16, 2017 - Golden yellow. A little too heavily oaked when cold and or chilled, better balance and flavor as it came to cellar temperature. Off bottle ?
  Golden Delicious Apple, but still too much oak and vanilla in this bottle.

  September 15, 2016 - Out of magnum. Huge wine and too oaky. Vanilla bomb. Had a short window of "pleasantness" but as it got air, it burned up. I don't think I'd buy another one of these. Not my jam.
