Very nice after you let it open up for 30-60 minutes. The first sip was a bit harsh and raised concerns we had let it sit too long. But it opened nicely. It has a mature, golden color and has multiple layers to it with a medium long finish. It won't get better. If you have one, enjoy it.

Nice golden color with lemon and vanilla bouquet. Commendable acidity with prominent buttery-nutty notes and prominent but integrated oak. So far it was a 95 wine, but alcohol got away from them and has messed up the wine balance. Still youthful, but lack of balance will ruin it with time. Medium to long length, and hot, alcoholic finish.

This chardonnay has aged well. Mineral, stone fruit, spice, bright acidity, citrus, apricot. Good length on finish -- also went well with food. Me - 91/92, Wife - 92/93

The wine looks straw colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like orange, apple, mango, mushroom, forest floor and oak. It tastes like grapefruit, oak and peach blossom. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Agree with other recent notes that time has improved this Chardonnay. Oak has mellowed and a more balanced profile has emerged. Not super complex but quite nice.
