Wines That Don't Suck at Ciao Bella: Drink a good-sized glass from a magnum. Butterscotch, lemon curd, vibrant golden fruit, matchstick. With time there's a bit more wood that makes me wonder how long this magnum could last, but it was drinking fabulously tonight.

Nose: Honeysuckle, golden fruit and spice dominated the nose.
Palate: The palate was rich with honeyed bees wax, golden fruit, poached pear, lemon meringue and lots of butterscotch dominated there palate. This was quite delicious, but I feel like it may have been even better a couple years ago (in mag), and I would recommend drinking up if you have some, especially if it is a .750. 93-94 points for this bottle and my palate.

PNP from a magnum. Deep golden color (clearly aged). Rice pudding, lemon sorbet, macadamia, and subtle petrol and popcorn. Smooth, dry, viscous palate. Glossy, tongue coating acidity, with a long linger.
Absolutely wonderful Chardonnay, but a bit past its peak for my palate. Fun, rich, full bodied.
