  Aged very well! Toasted nut honey flavors, much like a nice, older French Burgundy.
  Lovely texture. If you like a chardonnay with some age, this is silky, interesting and wonderful with mussels.

  Medium gold color, deepens pretty quickly. Aromas of lemon, vanilla, spiced pear, and toasted nuts. Palate has spiced pear, apple, almond, vanilla, and some tart lemon on a medium finish. Holding, but time to drink for my tastes.

  Medium yellow-gold color. Aromas of nutmeg, pear, toasted hazelnut, and a whiff of marshmallow. Palate has vanilla bean, yellow apple, pear, hazelnut, and a slight hint of oxidation on a medium long finish. A bit more advanced than the bottle from about a year ago and progressing to expectations. Drink.

  Medium yellow color. Aromas of vanilla, pear, nutmeg, and yellow apple. On the palate, this shows vanilla, spiced pear, yellow apple and a firm core of butterscotch fruit with a pineapple note. The finish reveals a firm stoniness that carries for a good 15-20 seconds. Shows good freshness and no hurry to drink. No need to wait, either. Consume over next 5 years.

  Medium yellow in the glass. Aromas of pear, butterscotch, melon, and toast. On the palate, this shows lemon, melon, butterscotch, toast, and a hint of minerality. This is much fresher than the first bottle showed, but still seems more advanced and broad on the palate than the 2004 Edition Limitee Chardonnay. Based upon this bottle, no hurry to drink these up. The first bottle was more troubling in its advancement. Need to recheck to see which was the anomaly.
