This Chardonnay has turned a beautiful gold color now, and I am seeing a change in its taste, much like classic burgundy. Deeper and more complex while shedding some of it's tropical fruit notes. Clearly in a secondary tasting experience and quite enjoyable

First tasting note in a long while, but this wine was deserving of it - Deep gold, scent of vanilla and caramel, creme brulee, butterscotch and toffee, silky smooth on the palate with extraordinary length, absolute stunner, the slight touch of heat on the finish is the only thing that keeps this from scoring even higher, still seems to have a lot of life, but perhaps the pronounced heat is indicating otherwise, can't imagine this getting much better, or evolving to any benefit, so recommendation is to drink up, enjoy (96 Points).

Served chilled. Bouquet of tropical fruit, melon, fig, lemon zest, vanilla bean and barrel spice. The palate mirrors the nose and leads to a long, rich, creamy finish. Good acidic balance. Paired with sea bass.

This is a gorgeous wine. Lemon, pear, butter and vanilla. Nice acidity. Long finish. I am sorry it is my last bottle.
