P&P. good wine on the richer side. the nose is dominated by butter, bee wax, honey and apple. it is obviously ripe and evolved but not too evolved. the palate goes along, viscous but with good freshness. would not wait too long to drink up.

An interesting wine in that it changed for the worse as we extended the duration over which we drank this wine. Initially the wine is quite buttery on the palate with hints of hazelnut and some citrus. Nicely integrated and enjoyable right out of the bottle, the wine seemed to fall apart about an hour later. My wife was quite surprised at the changes as was I.

Deep Yellow/gold color, nose of butter, toast and some ripe pear. smooth, relatively low acidity, very rich mouthfeel. Good contrast to the spicy aioli on the crab cake. Flavors reflex the nose along with some pineapple and generic ripe tropical fruit. Very buttery.

heerlijk glas, alles net wat rijper dikker voller dan een klassieke bourgogne, mooi gerijpt, heerlijk drinkbaar, zuiver en fris, fruitig, sinaasappel perzik

consistent tn's. This is not ageing too gracefully, sporting a bit of flab about its mid-section and suffering from a lack of acids. Aromas and palate too seem to be fading, rendering this a fairly unmemorable bottle. Funny though, how some at the dinner could quote scores for this wine and act like it still lived up to the hype. Meanwhile, I was happy to let them have their way and keep the spicy Rhone Blanc I was enjoying close at hand. Drink now, score: B/B+

Straight from the fridge at 4c and the nose is flat and uninteresting. On the mouth it is richer and more interesting. Over the next half hour in the decanter it gets far more interesting, vanilla, honey, white flowers; it's rich and mouth-coating with a great length. This is a lovely wine and I'm delighted that I have a few left.

just very good QPR. as propably sead before, combines the richness you can find in new-world countries with nuances and balance you often only find in old-world wines. 91+. Still one of my favourits.

I believe I understand this wine, and why some people think it's so fab; I'm not in that camp though. Too much oak clouds the bright nature of some fairly good quality juice. A respectable amount of acidity, above-average depth and pretty aromatics all get clobbered by the heavy-handed oak profile. Perhaps a bit less Malo would have worked too. Everyone's different I suppose, as some at the gathering simply could not get enough of this wine. Given some proper balance, I would be inclined to score this at say 90, perhaps even 91. 13,9% abv, approx $27, drink through 2014.

very very good. I like this very much. Very rich but more balance than many american chardonnays you can find at this price point. One of my favourit white wines of last year.

WES - Argentina (LSE Holbourn): Deep gold in colour. Vanilla on the nose, buttery and creamy with a touch of peach and creme brulee. Dry, fresh with ripe fruit.

Wine Education Service - Argentina (LSE): Slightly oaky but very delicate and pleasant nose. A sweet attack and it remains almost sweet throughout, quite refreshing, a competent wine.

On the nose I get a citrus creme. Not a very strong aroma. The citrus finds its way to the palate. I get an orange creme drink with a spritz of lemon. Just a hint of acid. Overall it is pretty good and a different style that I haven't had, but it lacks something. It doesn't have a long finish to me and I feel it is a light wine but I am glad I tried it.

This is just the second Argentine Chardonnay that we have tried. It is much better than the first. Pale gold color. A mouth-watering nose of opulent fruit. Medium texture, maybe even a tad creamy. Rich flavors of tropical fruit and spice (cinnamon?) with a hint of Creme Brule on the finish. There is a lot going on here. This is a big but nicely balanced wine. Very new world and very good if big is your style.

SuperBowl Night (Ward's, Chicago IL): nose: rich and fuller nose with tones of butter, oranges, vanilla, and some bits of lemon peels
taste: full bodied with a real rich feel and tones of oranges, vanilla, bits of citrus and a heavy dose of butter
overall: this is very good for the style. The big butter on the palate is bothersome and it covers up the fruit a bit
