New World Dinner (Hughes House - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind. Slightly musty to start on nose. After 15-20 minutes the must fades away and this shows big fruit and lots of oak on nose. Big, ripe fruit from start to finish on nose and palate. Still showing oak from middle to finish, with a bit of harshness on end.

Initially the wine was on the warm side, but was already showing a beautiful nose of toasty oak, lemon citrus, flint, minerals, butter and sweet corn. The wine was ripe and mature on the palate, with a finish that was sweet and turned slightly bitter right at the end. After a bit of cooling down the wine was even better, showing very sweet nose like cotton candy, marshmellow and caramel.

I found this to be one of the best whites I have ever had. Subtle layers of fruits perfectly balanced. When I learned it was a '93, I was very surprised, as it tasted much younger than that. A great wine that I will certainly be on the lookout for!

(Marcassin Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard) Great minerally, white Burg-like, oily nose; big, but elegant entry with mid-palate of sweet lemon and tart citrus; medium-plus finish
