  Solid chardonnay, lots of buttery oak, nose improved with some air, lemon and apple notes, nice complexity and finish.

  It's now fading a bit, but this chard still has residual fruit and acid balance to ensure that it's drinkable almost 5 years out. A seafood paring would still make for an enjoyable meal!

  Agree it's past its prime but still enjoyable. It's mellow and does have some interesting layers. Would buy again, but a later vintage.

  I did enjoy this wine. Not especially complicated, but nice tropical fruit flavors.

  Downward side of drinking window now, not enough structure or mineral to brace dwindling fruit.
