similar to prior note, and much better around 50 degrees. Right out of the fridge it had harsh flavors and poor acidity. Still trying to shake that presentation, so it might actually score a point or two higher.

My week for Ch.Ste. Michelle wines..... On nose: faint vanilla/ oak, and red apple. On palate:above flavour notes enhanced, with bright minerality, some citrus peel, a ghost of baking spices, on a clean medium body......good foil for roast chicken tonight, decent value at $19.00 a bottle in Vancouver, can age over the next 5 years, but not beyond.

Gula mogna äpplen, lite smörighet och grillad citron. Fin syra, spritigheten jag kände förra gången känner jag inte nu. Till en bouillabaisse. Mycket god kombo

not much on the nose, but balanced and round mid palate, but thins out in a clean way for the finish. Not much oak, flavors of lemon and asian pear. Decent example of a simple clean wine, that won't overpower light fair.

Fruity and oaky in a typical new world style. Balanced but not very elegant. More acid and complexity would have given higher score, but it was not a bad wine.

14% alcohol; medium weight foil, composite cork, cork aroma of pears, persimmon marmalade; long legs, light amber color; nose of apples just starting to go over the hill; tasted at about 19 degrees C, full bodied; tannins make this wine so dry that there is a numbing effect on the tongue; apples are prominent, minerals in the base, medium finish a little like flat effervescent apple flavored mineral water; pair with pasta, an umami pairing would not be so good

Meyer lemon, honey, spice, some oak in this excellent value in chardonnay. Kind of a middle weight wine, not big but not dilute either. Current tasting of this wine show it a bit flat. Downgrading from 87 to 85.

Very prevalent oak on the nose, does not disappear on the tongue. Nice Chardonnay fruit flavor. Good mouthfeel. Very oaky Chardonnay but has some nice backing fruit.

Något smörig, mogna gula äpplen lite spritig men det försvann med mat

Good flinty Chardonnay characteristics, but quite a bit of bitterness (too much tannin in a Chardonnay???) which detracts from the appeal.

Robe jaune. Nez de citron et de pêche. Une bouche sur les agrumes, amande, citron, touche de beurre. C'est commerciale mais agréable.
