Enjoyed with dinner at Aquavit NYC last night. Simply amazing vintage. Opened with some restraint and quick finish but clearly with great potential. As dinner progressed, it keeping getting smoother & more buttery with strong vanilla tones and great depth. A completely different wine than younger DuMOL's.

Existing notes capture this very well. A very well made Chardonnay in a perfect place right now. Definitely more subtle and refined than some other vintages.

Wow. What a great California Chardonnay. At its peak. Not declining yet but so good. Don't wait too long. Melon, vanilla and a finish that goes on and on. Loved it!!

From magnum. Far superior to the 2005 and 2006. Intoxicating nose, great white fruit profile and a underlying buttery mouthfeel. Very round and not cloying. Long silky finish.
