Amazingly tasty for a 9yr. old CA chard. Some baked apple,peachy notes on the palate with a long and minerally finish. Blind tasted against an '05 Vincent Girardin, Corton Charlemagne, a Shafer Red Shoulder and one other big boy chard. Showed well.

Maybe it's just me, but my bottle had completely lost it at this point in time. The color was of the bright yellow one might encounter when taking a bit too much vitamin B and the flavor had gone from exotic to bland at best. I have one left and hopefully it hasn't fallen down the ladder like this one. To those of you who have great bottles, I hope they stay that way. Mine, unfortunately, are on their final voyage to the great unknown. Proceed with caution and sublime hope.

Wow. 10 years old. Very clean. Good minerals and long after taste. Caramel sweetness. This was great and will last a while.

effortless chardonnay... Great balence and structure. The fruit may be just starting to fade a little but I am sure it will last a few more years.
