  PNP. Cork perfect. Color light gold. Nose fruit and minerals. Swishing shows a core of acidity that propels the citrus laden palate. Sipping shows super fruit density that subdues the acid and shows really nice balance. Finish medium length. Very good

  The last bottle the best? I wish that I had more remaining, as this last one seems to have been the best one.

  Seems to be on the "ethereal" path. The nose is slight and nice, with talc-y bitter citrus notes; the mouth is quite light and filled with yeasty, yellow tropical fruits. The length is subdued (drink me now!) but pleasant. Overall, quite nice, and I'm not disappointed that I waited. 1 bottle remains!

  Very nice nose, nice length that is long if not overly impressive in its content, but the mouth seems a bit off - a bit more steely than I've come to expect, and the first 15 minutes were on the strange side, as if the bottle was a tiny bit oxidized. Nonetheless, the wine is firing on all cylinders, and is rich and full, not restrained. I suspect that this was a slightly off bottle, and this bottling seems "obvious", but ready to go.

  Hard to believe that it's been two and a half years since bottle #1 of this bottling, but bottle #2 is here, and it's showng better than bottle #1. On the ends, this bottle has a very, very nice nose that walsk right out of the glass, and a length that's qutie persistent, showing nice, slightly bitter grapefruit peel and tropical orange fruit. The mouth is very full, if on the restrained side of blousey, and shows more than ample quanitites of the same fruit, good acid, and a nice sense of balance. Not for the timid, but this one is a good, nay excellent, example of its type, and I like it quite a lot. Perhaps the best age to drink the Rosemary's chardonnay is 4.
