June 18, 2011 - Lovely light lemon nose with a touch of oak and a lactic (buttery) touch. Good chardonnary fruit. At first, thought oak was a bit heavy, but as bottle sat for a bit, realized it was better integrated than I thought. Overall, lovely buttery lactic chardonnary fruit. Will certainly buy again.

June 10, 2011 - Smell crisp apples and melon after first poring. After a while in the glass the nose went dryer with more chalky notes. Taste is fruity and follows some of those same chalky notes.
