  My last bottle of the 2007. 15 years on drinks very well. Not quite at the level of an aged Burgundy from a top vineyard but definitely not bad at way less of a cost. This wine in its youth is very nice but if you have a few bottles, save one and try it with some real age. A totally different experience.

  Its really insane that this wine still tastes good to be honest. A 15 year old chardonnay outside of Burgundy is usually a casualty of time. Whatever Vanessa was doing when she constructed this beauty was the right decision. Such a deep golden color one would expect at this age but its still fresh with an excellent nose. Really fantastic. I bought 8 bottles of these at an auction just a couple years ago at about 80% off retail as most people figured they were probably no good. I took a chance and its paid off marvelously. Only one left. I might save it a bit and see how it goes at 20 just for kicks.

  Light yellow/green color, lovely oak, aged aroma, good acidity and a strong finish. 14 years old and definitely want to drink up but still hanging in there.

  Aged probably beyond what one typically would but picked this up dirt cheap at auction so I figured it was worth the try. This wine young has a great vibrancy to it with an awesome straw color. This wine aged 14 years has a more golden color and is much softer, adopting some buttery qualities. So basically it ages like a good Burgundy. Very Nice! What a tremendous opportunity to drink this at this age. Peay team does it again!

  Excellent deep gold color with some nice aged qualities. Remains fresh though, not soft and oily like some aged Burgundies. Very nice.
