Mineraly, lean and precise. Much better than my last sample of this wine. Holding well and pehaps improving.

1992 Matanzas Creek Winery Chardonnay Journey
89 points
Dark golden color. Butter, apples and butterscotch. A bit too butterscotchy on the palate. Starting to taste a bit tired. Nice, but perhaps on it's last legs.

Hard and non-descript. Medium bodied and a bit mineraly, but still fat and undefined. OK.

Coffee, caramel. Medium bodied, good finish. Not as spectacular as Madeira can be, but very nice.
