I purchased 3 bottles from WineBid.com and the description was 'excellent condition'. All 3 bottles look like apple cider. Oxidised. Decanted for 2 hours with no success.

Chicago Week Geeks Taste Chardonnay (Palmito): Golden color. In your face thick and smokey nose. Palate has big and bold fruit with honey and vanillin. A long meaty finish. Nothin delicate about this bruiser. After revealing this was 1996 folks were shocked. Tasted much younger some thought it still had "baby fat".

Rich nose of spice and apples and pears. Thick and highly extracted. The spicy oak added nice complexity, ...but perhaps a bit too much oak? I still tasted the oak the next morning. An attention getter, but can get cumbersome in large amounts.

Rich, fruity, and spicy. Very intense apples and spice flavors that finish long on the palate. Maybe too much oak? It didn't seem like it at first, but by the end of the day it appeared the oak might be too prevalent. Excellent none-the-less.
