Day 1: Last of the $15 purchase. Good value with apple, pear, spice, oak and tropical fruit. Good acidity and medium finish. Drink now. 90 points Day 2: Apple, toasted oak, vanilla, pear and chalk. Medium finish. 89 points Recommendation: Drink now. This will not age a ton longer.

Landmark and Justin (Lilydale Pool and Yacht Club): Consistent with previous note. This wine is a touch simple, but easy to drink, with good chardonnay character. The mouthfeel is round, there is good golden fruit, some oak and malo.

Buttery smooth, the colour of honey with notes of melon and light toast on the finish. Perhaps not as lovely as the 2014, but still indicative of Landmark quality.

Day 1: This is better than previous bottles and time is its friend. Lemon, floral, spices, subtle oak and match stick. Medium finish and complex wine. Great on day 1. 90 points Day 2: Still really solid. Nice acidity and adds a little Carmel character on the finish. Very nice wine for the money. 90 points

Day 2: Mellow overall with lemon, subtle spice, lime and vibrant acidity. Picks up some dust on the finish. Almost Sauvignon Blanc like. Not as good as the last bottle.

Day 1: Warmed up for 10 minutes in the glass. Oak, shells, lemon, spice and citrus fruits. Short to medium finish. Nice use of oak and enjoyable. Better than most at $15. 88 points Day 2: A different experience on day 2. More Chablis like. Shells, lemon, subtle oak, saline and minerals. Not a over the top Cali effort that you seen often from Napa. While not a long finish with concentration the acidity is present. Just a great Chardonnay for the money. While be excited to see transformatoin on day 3. 90 points Day 3: Still drinking really well. Similar to day 2 with a bit more saline quality. I have always enjoyed the Overlook from Landmark and is one of the better Chardonnay values in the world. 90 points Recommendation: I would age these for a few years or drink on day 2 and 3 as it is more attractive.

Not too bad. Lighter in style with subtle oak, lemon, spice and sour apples. Finish is short to medium. Very drinkable Chardonnay that would go well with seafood. For $15 a good buy.

P: MF body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish OAK/frt nicely BALANCED by an acidity which fairly seamlessly morphs into a LONG, balanced finish with aspects of bitterswt acidity & honey. An ELEGANT style for drinking through the end of the decade! 14.2% ABV 87 pts WA, & "B" from drinkhacker. [This vendor's $14.95 is at LEAST $! < than anyone else currently on wine-searcher!]

Not as good as the 2014, at least at this stage. Good yellow-gold color, buttery/popcorn nose, rich and full, even fat, but enough acidity to avoid being structureless or flabby. Even so, I would drink this young. 4-12-16-7: 89/100.

White citrus notes with hints of apple and peach. Not exceedingly complex, but very pleasant nonetheless. 4 Stars.

Held this too long but enjoyed it anyway. Full, rounded flavor. Buttery but not too so.

Day 1: Nice oak, vanilla, lemon, apple, orange peel and spice. Medium plus finish. Certainly a tremendous value for under $20. Drink now to 2021.

Butter, oak, and a bit of tropical fruit. Fine example of a California Chard.

Classic CA Chardonnay. Butter, oak, a little apple, pear and tropical fruit. Nice wine and it matched the grilled halibut we had for dinner

Some oak as it opens up the minimality starts to come out. Not overly buttery but good.
