  Deep yellow color. Citrus and light oak on the nose. Not much in the way of acid left on this so it's a touch flaccid. Was a wine to drink young. Pleasant for some simple drinking but missing that bracing quality you'd hope for.

  No score - it's too old for that. Very faint and fading in early '17. Beautiful deep yellow color, tending towards amber. Hints of what was - you can recognize it was a well-made Chardonnay without too much oak. But not enough acid or overall leanness to keep it going this long.

  These have fallen off a bit since the initial bottles opened upon release. Still quite nice but it comes across a bit flabby. Could use a little more acidity to pull it together. Drink sooner than later.

  Rocks, orange and shellfish/ocean notes. Shows signs of maturing but acidity is still very much present which keeps it fresh and balanced. Will probably not improve.

  Not as impressive as previously, more watery and synthetic tasting, like a cheap, generic California chardonnay. Either I overscored this on release, or it has fallen apart a bit, or this bottle was just off.
