The light color hides this wine's explosive character. Add your favorite ripe Chardonnay descriptor here _______. You're all correct. The moderate acidity keeps this in the game but my preferences have definitely changed. Anyone care to trade a Puligny-Montrachet or Chassagne-Montrachet for my remaining bottle......
Last glass addendum: much more balanced. I guess a little air and food is (are?) needed.

My last bottle of the 2011. The golden color has deepened just a bit and has a nice sheen. Ripe tropical fruit and some oak on the nose. The fruit has held nicely with moderate acidity and the oak very much in the background. Still quite enjoyable.

Dinner with Friends (E & S Fish Company, St. Charles): Opened by Rick & Cris. Pale color. Aromas of coconut, banana and apple with a nice dose of oak. Medium- to full-bodied, coconut milk, white fruit, toast and oak with a clove-like quality on the finish. The oak is well-used here. Very nice.

Granny Smith and honeysuckle on the nose. Nice light toast and pear that transitions into nice mineral on the finish. Overall very nice chard that should only improve over the next few years. I will be waiting a while to open the next one.

I thought this might be an interesting new wine since I love the Seghesio Zins. The grapes were sourced from great vineyards, but the wine was a little underwhelming. May a little time in the bottle will help.

Okay, but a little too old. Still drinkable, but a bit tart.

It is getting a little old. Slightly woody. Still has some good fruit, but not enough.

Significant complexity but a bit too much oak for me. But for $20...no regrets.

A light touch with modest richness, nicely balanced fruit, good acidity, modest oak. Should still improve.

Soft, olive flavors, hit of horseradish on the nose. let it warm up as it's far too subtle for chilled drinking.

big and rich. A bit overwhelming, but excellent. Lemon and acid support round malolactic goodness.

A very pleasing wine. Great nose. Hints of butter and a very smooth finish. A great first offering from Pete and Cathy Seghesio.

Reserved but rich chardonnay. Good minerality.
