Very deep and rich, really stunning.

Very big, rich, baked apple and cream, pastry crust. Good energy, no flab despite the richness. All really enjoyed.

Chosen to follow the Pahlmeyer 2015 Chardonnay, to give us an old-world comparison that might come close in style, depth, ripeness. We clearly drank these the wrong way 'round - this was great but overwhelmed by the richness of the Pahlmeyer. Much leaner, racier, more energy.

Decanted for an hour, might have benefited from longer. Strong oak on the nose, almost offputting in its intensity. Wonderful on the palette, really well-integrated, complex and long. A great example of the style.

Really stunning. Again drank out of order - slightly overshadowed by the 1996 Ridge Monte Bello which preceded it. But this was lovely, perfectly put together, drinking very well on 15 years of age.

From magnum. Deep, rich, long but amazing freshness, not too sweet, not cloying. Remarkable.
