Medium gold hues immediately suggesting it's coming towards the end of the line; the original expressive orchard fruit and white flower aromas have given way to mushroom with a hint of sherry notes; medium-full weight with very rich, full flavours. I prefer my white Burgs younger and fresher, but despite this I enjoyed the richness this example delivered. Still a truly enjoyable wine, but on this showing definitely needs drinking up asap. Estimated maturity: Drink up

Light yellowish hues; expressive orchard fruit and white flower aromas; medium-full weight with rich, full flavours and noticeable oak. Despite good acid and balance this wine has a lot of muscle, but not a great deal of finesse. I feel it is made to an international style rather than showing off the nuances of the terroir. Excellent, but I could do with a bit more character and subtlety. Estimated maturity: 2011-2015+

92+. Excellent chardonnay and a steal on closeout for $30.
