Very well-balenced. Hints of black cherry and plum. Actually tastes slightly sweet

Lots of fruit; mostly black cherry - no tannin left at all. Very smooth

Not bad for an 8 year old bottle - some smokiness; but still very good

OK - still some cherry and a bit of tartness left.

Pretty reasonable bottle - some fruit (citrus) left

1/25/2009 - Clay Jackson wrote:

Still a good bottle - apple, citrus, some acidity but also a bit sweet. Pretty good representation of a Washington Riesling.

Small, lasting bubbles. Lots of citrus

Very nice - not much tannin/sharpness left; but still lots of fruit, a bit on the sweet side. Some grassy nose.

Still very typical WA Chardonnay - lot's of vanilla and oak

Amazingly enough (despite a crumbly cork which we had to filter) - this was quite drinkable. Not a lot of nose, some hints of black cherry; but a pleasant enough taste, black cherry predominant, very little acid

Very surprising - still quite drinkable. The first taste was a bit acidic; but as the wine warmed, it opened up and showed lots of fruit. Apricot, some apple, fairly sweet; but well balanced

Drank a glass, and used the rest in a slow cooked pork roast. I was pleasantly surprised - still very drinkable, good acid/sweet mix, very smooth.

Oxidized - undrinkable

Still a good drink! Not much chocolate that I could taste; but plenty of blackberry, and VERY smooth. Some oak on the finish, no appreciable sharpness at all.

For a 13 year old Chardonnay, this was amazing - still plenty of vanilla, oak and butter. Not a HINT of oxidation or other off-flavors. Wish I had more

Not too bad for a wine well past it's drinking window. Some fruit, primarily melon, a bit of oak and vanilla. Aftertaste like a Pineapple Jolly Roger.

Great sparkler! Citrusy, with lots of fine bubbles - bubbles stayed for the 3 days that it took us to finish.

Not bad for a non-descript 24 year old Merlot. Still lots of fruit, black cherry predominant, some tartness
