Friday, March 21, 2014 - My second of three purchased on release. This was taken from our passive cellar which is at 47F this time of year. The cork was very tight and the fill was med-high neck. It was served with salmon, baked potato, and sautéed snow peas. It started a bit reserved but really came alive as it warmed up with the meal and showed no signs of decline.
My experience with this bottle lines up very closely with the well done VANPE2003 note from 2010 and was a sharp stylistic contrast to the 2005 Beringer Sbragia Chardonnay Limited Release the previous evening. Setting aside common prejudices of how Chardonnay should taste, these were both really enjoyable bottles.
