A very nice bottle. Golden color leads to a nose that has yellow fruit, hay and spice notes. White flowers. Rich, yet detailed. Flows nicely on the palate. Very good but missing the complexity to be exciting. (91)

Wow. This bottle is advancing rapidly and has little in common with others tasted. Glad I am drinking it now as it’s still enjoyable. Deep golden color but still bright. The nose is mature and honied - like the old bit’o honey candy. Some yellow plums as well. The palate is rich and mature with good acidity. Excellent depth. Tastes like a fine 20 year old white burgundy…clearly on the way to premox but got it in time and frankly it’s delicious. Totally not representative and I know it’s a flawed bottle but it tasty tonight. (91 - for what’s in the glass right now)

Ten karat gold. Peach, nectarine and a bit of smoke on the nose. The palate remains linear but has broadened. Mid-weight flavors are pure if lacking a bit of intensity. Very nice - a perfect Chardonnay for food (this is not a bad thing). Balanced. Should continue to drink well for 5+ years. (89)
