  Last opened six years ago. Golden color. Crisp chardonnay with citrus and apples in the nose. Citrus, melons, pears and a hint of minerality in the flavor. An elegant rich wine drinking very well right now. Medium to full bodied, well balanced and a medium to long finish.

  light golden color, with a nose of citrus and fresh greens; crisp acidity, nicely balanced, intense bright pineapple and citrus flavors with a hint of juniper. Tasted fresh and young for a 9 year old wine.

  This second bottle was more open and fuller on the palate than the first bottle.

  Light yellow color. Aromas of pear, green apple, saline and minerals. Ripe, focused fruit in the mouth with very good depth and length. While delicious, a little more closed and unyielding on the palate than expected. Still very youthful and in prime drinking window.
