As others have noted, it was a surprise that this is still a good wine. A little thick from the age. The color was a very nice straw - looked much younger than it was. Apple and caramel as others have noted plus some grassiness. A good deal of acidity giving it structure.

Found in the back of the cellar. Thought it would be a goner but pulled the cork anyway. Surprisingly, it's not. Reminiscent of a Tarte Tatin with buttery, caramelized apple flavors. Drank with a St. André triple crème cheese and Carr's wheatmeal biscuits.

Who would expect this? Aging beautifully. Still has abundant fruit, some acidity, and the apple/caramel flavors described by others.

Perhaps over the hill; decent Chardonnay but somewhat flat; some apple; a little flaccid.
