  Delicious. Never ceases to amaze me how well these Peter Michael chardonnays age. This is drinking beautifully today. Golden yellow color but no hint of oxidation. Full bodied, almond cake flavors. Not as much acidity as the higher end PM bottlings.

  Prime of Life Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): A lovely new world Chardonnay, quite at peak now. This had a beautifully perfumed nose – flowers and sweet cream, beeswax and honey, with ripe lemons and sweeter stone fruit aromas, all rounded off with a touch of salted caramel and toasty oak. I was actually quite surprised that a lot of people guessed that this was a Grand Cru Burgundy with a sunny nose like that, but I could just about see why when we got to the elegant balance and integration on the palate – qualities that more often than not escape warmer new world Chardonnays. There was a really nice yumminess to this, with creamy flavors of sweet peach and apricots and nectarines shaded with just a touch of toasted corn and coconut oak notes. There was lovely weight, but also equally lovely balance throughout, with the acid and fruit all beautifully integrated from the attack to the long finish with its dash of spice. I thought the oak treatment was obvious, but otherwise, this was very delicious in a very upfront, summery way. In magnum, this was at peak and really enjoyable now – a great example of what a Californian Chardonnay can be.

  Rich creamy white vanilla beans with vanilla essence and ripe juicy kumquats and peaches. Very opulent in style and reminds me of a batard but an 03 hotter vintage.
