I liked the prior bottle about 6 months or so ago, but now this isn’t working for me any more. There’s a “past its prime” richness to it that just wasn’t what I wanted tonight. Thankfully, this is my last bottle.

Intense, rich, luxurious, complex, aged chardonnay. Only negative is a bit heavy on the oak. After a few days open the oak does blow off a bit and the wine lightens up as well. Was best on first day IMO though.

Something was off in this bottle - nothing I associate with cork issues or a musty edge, but a spoiled/overripe fruit note that receded but never really left.

Also a $13 FP deal, and it absolutely is a deal. This is my first Array wine. Very spicy and a richness that comes with age. Yes, the acidity is fading somewhat, but it’s still interesting (very spicy for a chard) and has a lot going on. Worked well with Thai curry. I’ve also got some 2013 Nina’s Reserve that I’m now anxious to try.
