never had a bottle of this cuvee with this much age, and I must frankly say I was impressed. impressive butterscotch richness, with great minerality. Could use better acidity, though all in all it reminded me a bit of a Batard.

I agree with JSMorris here... this wine is stupendous. Too bad I opened this bottle after a crazy great dinner and already a little boozy... only had 1/3 the bottle but thought it was something special. 3 weeks later, tried it again (stored in the fridge) and it's still drinking rather well. I'm usually not a huge California Chard fan, but this is really, really good.

Similar to prior note after a 1 hour SO; outstanding, but I have to confess that I have decided that I prefer chardonnay with more freshness (the wine has not changed, I have), drink up

Really exquisite. Still holding up well. Lemon/lime, maybe lychee? Still has some tannins. I don’t have a comparison here but really enjoyable.
