  Tasting in Miami (Ken's Castle): PnP - Chardonnay doesn't get much better than this! In an ideal spot right now (at least this bottle!) I typically love these Chardonnays at about 8 years, but maybe I have been drinking them too young!
  
  On a more serious note, this wine was absolutely delicious! Nose showed some tropical fruits, poached pear, straw, slate citrus and spice. Palate was equally compelling with plenty of apple, melon, vanilla, some chalk, slate and sweet, buttery oak with a touch of honeycomb and spice.
  
  Based on this bottle, drink within the next year for maximum enjoyment, and I suspect a slow decline after that. Aubert shows why they are one of the best Chardonnay producers in the world! 97+ (and that may be underscoring it)

  Aromas of pineapple, mango, papaya, nutmeg and lemon meringue. Flavors of mango, pineapple, papaya, vanilla and clove. Ends with a nice
  40-45 second finish with tropical fruit notes.

  Nose of lemon, musk melon, Chinese Apple, allspice, honeycomb, slate, shale, and an Old English Rose bouquet, same on the palate, big body, halfway to being a White Burgundy, elegant, young, shows very well today, at peak, subtle, refined, and a long, flavorful finish and aftertaste.

  Sunday Dinner at Flemings with Kathy-her eyes sparkle when enjoying this Aubert. Nose of lemon, musk melon, Chinese Apple, allspice, honeycomb, slate, shale, and an Old English Rose bouquet, same on the palate, big body, halfway to being a White Burgundy, elegant, young, shows very well today, at peak, subtle, refined, and a long, flavorful finish and aftertaste.

  Outstanding and delicious with great proportions throughout. Still tastes young. Stayed wonderful even after three days in the bottle.
