I won't give this a number because it is quite obviously outside its drinking window. This last bottle was cellared properly from the day of purchase. Initially, it was unappealing. However, after about a half hour, it showed itself decently. You can taste the nuances that were quite nice in previous years' tastings. Mind you, this is not the wine it was, but it really is fine in its last gasp. If you have any left in your cellars, drink it before the year's end. I still have some 2007 in the cellar but it has the bones for more mileage.

- Yellow gold color and aromas of melon, honey and orange blossom. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of banana, butterscotch and oak with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish - Drinking beautifully, but a bit too much oak for my taste

Lots of butterscotch flavors. Very rich mouthfeel. Not a chardonnay lover but this was outstanding. Very good!

Light gold in color, little floral on the nose, not too oaky, undertones of vanilla and pineapple. Enjoyed.
