Eye opening...layered, slightly honeyed, subtle citrus, white flowers, nutty bordering on a hint of bitterness on the finish on day one, which had rounded out on day two. Incredibly enjoyable, and easily the best 25+ year old Chardonnay I've tasted.

Purchased a year or so ago from a Library release from Littorai; had tasted this once before at a Winemakers dinner. This is a blend of the Charles Heintz vineyard and another that Littorai no longer has access to. Light gold in color showing some of its age; but not what one might expect for 13 year old California Chardonnay. Lovely balancing acidity and a nuttiness I associate with aged White burgundy. Lasted surprisingly well throughout a couple of hours. Superb balance. Wonderful wine.
