  Friday, October 21, 2005 This is not like it younger sister from ‘04; a most unhappy occurrence. Apple and peach on the nose, but very little similarity with the palate. The latter held out some apple, lemon, honey and tangerine. The sweet, manufactured finish suggested that some RS might be in the product. 12% alc. With assorted cheeses.
  Thursday, November 03, 2005 Much the same as the last time .... what a disappointment. with chicken pillard in cider-mustard sauce.
  Friday, November 04, 2005 just as before. (bearly a 3). Varietally correct, I guess, but with some definite RS. Some seemed to like it better either due to the RS or due to the flabbiness and lack of verve that the Reverdy SB presented. 12% alc. with the Kanes and Meltons. with crab-corn fritters.
  Monday, November 14, 2005 just like the others. what a disappointment.
  Monday, December 26, 2005 much the same. just trying to get rid of this. with left-over peanut soup, I think.
  Thursday, January 19, 2006 Just like the others. Something is wrong with this vintage. I terrible flavor of pineapple lifesavers that, while fine in lifesavers, just isn’t right in wine. Detectable on the nose and palate. with cornflake crusted sauteed chicken topped with ham and crab dip.
  Monday, January 30, 2006 same as the rest.....something off with this wine; medicinal. something chemical. used for cooking and a single glass for drinking.
  Wednesday, February 08, 2006 good riddence - with chicken pot pie.

  Now this one is showing the effects of the 03 vintage. It's big, kind of hot, and flabby. nice, but not the nice steely Chardonnay and screaming deal of the 02 version.
