  The 6th Quinquennial Wine and Food Extravaganza (New Jersey, USA): We opened this 3L bottle after running out of the 2003 vintage of the same bottling from 2 5L bottles. Every drop of this was also consumed! While this was beautifully balanced and stylish in its own right, it was a good degree less impressive than the 2003. While still exhibiting good acidity, it was less crisp and minerally as well as a good deal creamier to the extent that this was just not quite as much in my wheelhouse as the 2 larger bottles. I'm not sure if others felt the same way or if many of the guests even realized that a different vintage was being poured.

  Beautiful pale, light chardonnay that stood up to a hearty meal with panache. Fruity but not sweet. Refined, with a strong presence - I think the word is structure. True to the lines of lovely chardonnays we've come to expect from Sonoma-Cutrer
