Another incredible bottle! Like all Peter Michael chardonnays, this wine opens up to reveal a complex taste if not kept chilled after opening, but allowed to warm up to room temperature as it is drunk. Tastes of vanilla, clarified butter, rounded citrus; lighter and more subtle than most other Peter Michael chardonnays.

Decanted for an hour, then re-bottled (after rinsing bottle with distilled water) and poured at restaurant two hours after decanting. Nose of classic Pauillac with dark fruit, earth and barnyard; drank over next two hours (along with a Peter Michael 2008 Ma Belle Fille) with tastes of dark fruit, plum, earthy/mud and what can only be described as that unique Paulliac taste. Much better than last bottle perhaps due to decanting two hours in advance.

Nose of light vanilla; taste of evenly balanced vanilla & butter with just the right amount of citrus follow on taste to make this an almost perfect CA Chardonnay.

Drank in Dec, 2010. Light nose, but surprisingly complex taste with hint of fig. A delightful wine that should be enjoyed now. Much better than expected.

Must be opened and allowed to breathe. Nose of light vanilla. Taste is incredibly smooth light clarified butter reduced with vanilla bean and sweet hay. A remarkably complex white wine that improves as it opens up and warms up.
