  Mixed Bag at Irene's (Irene's House, St. Paul): Light medium gold color. Drank a glass over 3 hours. This was a really odd showing for this tonight. IT started out with fusil, wax, stone and subtle lemon, linear, tart a touch of stone fruit, and the impression that the train had left the station. Then oddly 3 hours later, it had rounded the bend and was heading for home. Really swampy and earthy now, brine, dried apple, stones, sour lemon, no fusil, and nice length. Well, interesting, but I'm not so sure i would hang on to these though. Ultimately, 91pts.

  At home dinner with friends. This wine opened consistent with past bottles. The fresh pale green gold colour persists with a fine nose of white peach, freshly cut pears, touches of lime and mint balanced with savoury touches of cashew and spice. There is great presence on the palate with layers of flavour persisting with some mineral and lemon zest characters. The length is terrific as is the overall impact of this complex and layered mature chardonnay.

  This remains a beautifully textured bottle of wine with a lovely touch of finesse and minerality balancing the layers of complex fruit and savoury characters. The fresh pale green gold colour persists with a fine nose of white peach, freshly cut pears, touches of lime and mint balanced with savoury touches of cashew and spice. There is great presence on the palate with layers of flavour persisting with some mineral and lemon zest characters. Consistently delicious.

  Drank over the course of three days, which must be some sort of record for me and this bottle. Oddly, really amazing on day two. So I guess keep right on holding and don't worry about it!

  Our last bottle of this vintage and it shows no sign of slowing down. Still vibrant and delicious but with a touch of burnt toffee now on the finish. As always it seems to improve as it warms in the glass.
