Very good, but this bottle seemed to be a bit 'off' compared to others. Other drinkers did not feel so, but my impression was that the acid had fallen off more than expected and that the flavors were a bit muted. In addition, the addition of large amounts of butter was very different than normal.
I shall open another shortly I to make sure that this has not turned the corner or plateaued in some capacity.

Opened by Allred. Showing very well for a 22 year old wine and despite the fact that I find most California Chardonnay rather uninspiring, this was nice. A viscous texture with notes of spice, ginger, lemon blossom and vanilla. I think I was the only one who liked this better than the Ceritas Chard. 89 points.

Opened by Allred at Anvil for birthday dinner. This did not show the oxidative note that my previous bottle had, thus I scored it a point higher. This was absolutely fresh with citrus and spice as before - only to a higher tone and better. These are lovely. Thanks for the contribution Allred.

TLV's Birthday Dinner (Anvil Club): Popped & poured with Chef's lobster cappuccino. Apple, lemon, mineral and tarragon aromas. Citrus, mineral and orchard fruit on the palate. Good weight on the palate and a nice match for the dish. 92-93 pts.
