  Okay, but a little too old. Still drinkable, but a bit tart.

  It is getting a little old. Slightly woody. Still has some good fruit, but not enough.

  Significant complexity but a bit too much oak for me. But for $20...no regrets.

  The light color hides this wine's explosive character. Add your favorite ripe Chardonnay descriptor here _______. You're all correct. The moderate acidity keeps this in the game but my preferences have definitely changed. Anyone care to trade a Puligny-Montrachet or Chassagne-Montrachet for my remaining bottle......
  
  Last glass addendum: much more balanced. I guess a little air and food is (are?) needed.

  My last bottle of the 2011. The golden color has deepened just a bit and has a nice sheen. Ripe tropical fruit and some oak on the nose. The fruit has held nicely with moderate acidity and the oak very much in the background. Still quite enjoyable.
