Still going strong, showing a rich bouquet. Not my preferred style, but it pulls off all the notes of pear. Right at my tolerance limit for rich Chardonnay, but still delicious despite a heavier, bigger presentation.

Well past its peak, but still tasty. The acidity has almost faded too far, but it is worth opening a bottle if you have one to try. We had two in a week - one was toast, the other was this one, which we were glad to have. But by all means don't wait any longer unless you're 100% sure about provenance...

Wow, this is good. In a great place, wide open but still fresh and vibrant. Definitely on the richer end of things with some sweetness of vanilla and ginger, a little butter, some very deft oak, but wonderfully balanced despite all the fruit. Not a hair out of place. 92-93 pts.

Still going strong. Ridge makes such impressive, long lasting Chardonnay.

Opened it 30 min before the first sip. Well balance, great structure, low acidity.
