We actually enjoyed this. It was very smooth. The tannins were very soft. Enjoyed with some cheese fondue.

Who knew 13 year old chardonnay would be this yummy. Very smooth, light citrus, small amounts of butter, little bit of oak hint to it.

There is still a wee bit of life in this vintage. We have stored in a red wine temp fridge.

The wine looks garnet, leaning towards a brownish coloring. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry and chocolate.
It tastes like raspberry, honeysuckle, honey and chocolate, a little on the sweet side of things.

This is still very tight with flavor. Good berry taste, with notes of cigar and dark chocolate and dark cherries.
The wine looks tawny colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like cherry, mineral and tobacco. It tastes like black currant (cassis), cherry, oak, tobacco, pistachio and chocolate. The body is full. The wine has fleshy texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

Absolutely wonderful. Lovely crisp green apples, hint of lemon. Wonderful on a balcony overlooking Nuevo Vallarta. :)

Loved this. Soft red wine, not a bit of harsh to it. Loved the chocolate tones that came on the backside of it being opened. finished over two nights.

10/12/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

this was very nice with a Cod Coppicino for dinner. As it opened up there was a lovey gush of chocolate on the backside of this wine.

10/12/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

Just really suprised at how nice this still is. The sweetness has lightened up a bit, was awesome with some tacos.

9/30/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

surprisingly this is still very nice.

9/25/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

Crisp, bit of tartness, hints of lemonade, fine green apple finish, eeeeever so slightly chaulky on the backside. Still drinkable.

9/13/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

Quite tasty. Had this with sweet sensation pork tenderloin with jalapeach sauce from Smoke and Spice cookbook from the Jamison's. The wine was smokey, with dark cherries. Bits of tannins. Should be able to drink for another couple of years.

I hate to give it points, the wine being 10 years old, and not always stored properly. It was drinkable, but had brown tones, so this wine is nearing the end of it's life. Didn't have to pour it out, but getting close.

9/11/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

Had this with a simple turkey sandwich. Still has a lovely crisp finish. There is just the tiniest bit of smoke in this wine, green apples and lemon, some meadow grass, a hibiscus. I did enjoy the wine, but it's getting close to being done. But hey, it's a 11 year old white wine!

Out of the cellar, it didn't have much of a nose. I got a hint of juniper on the taste juniper, and cedar with a soft berry taste. Likely a bit passed its prime.

8/28/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

Still very drinkable.

8/22/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

Far side of drinkable. Had a tobacco nose, with berries and cocoa, but a little on the flat side at this point. If you have this drink it right now!

Plain sort of wine. All The flavor went flat as we ate our dinner.

8/21/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

Enjoyed this with a friend's spaghetti dinner. Great flavor full of berries low on tannins. Gave it low points as it didn't have much bang in the bouquet.

8/21/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

This is lovely. Has quieted down to a lovely semi sweet sticky. Still has some life left in it.

8/18/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

A lovely wine. Cellared at 68 in our basement. My husband opened the bottle and loved it. We still had two glasses left a few days later, sealed with one of those hand vacuum tops. Still a wonderful taste. Tannins had loosened up and left it soft a full of rich dark berries.

8/15/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

It was dryer than I was expecting, but that might be due to age.

7/28/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

Dark almost tawny color. Smokey, with some burnt caramel. Trying to drink some older forgotten bottles and found this to still be good. I'd probably still drink a year from now.

Caramel apples and tasty raisins. Lovely sticky wine bouquet, it still a bit light on the tongue.

7/25/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Does not like this wine:

Didn't care for it

7/24/2015 - GrandmaDizzy Likes this wine:

This was a lovely smooth wine. Very low on the tannins with lots of dark cherries and berries with big fruit. Neither sweet or dry. Bouquet had some tea and pepper, with a big whiff of caramel.

Opened this up two nights ago. Found it still very fresh and crisp and a delight to drink.
