Boston Wine & Poker, Brookline, NH: Tasted blind. Lightly burnished gold color. Some degree of oxidization, very rich, with a slight funk. Complex and intriguing. A few us guessed that this was a high-quality aged Vouvray. Wrong! I would, though, note, that it tasted a lot older than 2011

Thank you CT reviewers. I didn't think a California Chardonnay could last this long, and 2011 wasn't a great vintage to begin with. I purchased some 2011's years ago from some top chardonnay producers and they all tasted over the hill. But after reading the reviews below, I decided to take a chance and bought two at auction. I've never had a 2011 Aubert Chardonnay before. WOW!!! This shows no signs of slowing down. Classic Aubert nose and flavors. It's like this wine discovered the fountain of youth. I need to buy some more.

Golden color, rich tropical fruits. Fresh and in great form (not sure I agree with all the drink up comments, maybe that is bottle variation).
This is not my preferred style, just too big and sweet fruity. But it is very tasty for a few glasses and clearly well made, hence the score.
