  I put this away strictly as an "experiment." Opened with a group lof 6 serious drinkers and no one could believe this was a 21 year old California Chardonnay. Beautiful light gold color with no signs of oxidation at all. The oak was perfectly integrated and barely noticeable.....certainly not intrusive. Still lively and simply delicious. We all had the first glass blind and then the remainder with a very tasty pasta dish. The dish featured shrimp and a light cream sauce and the wine held up quite well. A real revelation!

  Going through some kind of secondary fermentation. A fizzy bottle.

  Should have decanted, as much more expressive in hour three than in hour one. A bit of effervescence that blew off after 30 minutes. Still great acidity to balance the honey and candied pineapple. Plenty of life left.

  Opened with great anticipation, given other tasting notes and ratings, but it just wasn't there with this bottle. A bit of effervescence was evident, and even at room temperature the wine was virtually flavorless. Might just be one bottle, but likely OTH.

  Brought in a brown paper bag to a friends surprise 55th party and shared with many friends from magnum. This wine shows no sign of aging and was a pure delight. the light color honey like was a treat and many of the guests were raving about it against the house wine so I was careful to share this bottle over the course of a couple of hours. Since it was sub zero outside, I left my bottle outside for 45 minutes and from the brown paper bag this stayed cold for 2 hours. The wine only matured more in the bottle and was sumpteous after 2 hours. One magnum left and I will wait.
