  January 6, 2023 - gute Säure, buttrich, herrlich in Nase und komplex im Gaumen. Vergleich zu Mondavi 12€ Chardonnay merkt mal die Qualität. Klare Kaufempfehlung

  November 28, 2016 - Drinking great tonight. Not much of a corner turned. Adjust drinking window to 2019. Yes, big acid, but still oak, spice, lean tropical fruit. Banana cream with great acid to balance. Really, I'm looking for some nuttiness and I can't find it.
  Day 3 and holding well. An interesting journey having frozen in the freezer on day 2, left on the counter to thaw, poured the first thawed ounce or two. Wild, syrupy, viscous texture, as if the extractive elements unfroze first. It was STRUCTURE concentrate. Not much enjoyment in drinking, so I added it back to the remaining ice cube. And now we're into the third day. There was a lot of fine lees on the bottom of this bottle. I only noticed this after the freezing, so at first I thought it was tartrates from not having been cold stabilized, but it was a fine powdery texture so...

  August 7, 2016 - Upon pouring I knew there was a problem. It looked like a 15 year old Sauternes. OK flavor but the prominent acidity was not complimentary and was overwhelmingly astringent.

  May 30, 2014 - Buttery and smooth but a little acidic on the finish. Seems a little past it's prime.

  July 7, 2013 - Quite good, but the high level of acidity in this bottle was a little bit offending.
