September 3, 2014 - Apple juice yellow. Aroma of oak, butterscotch and caramel. Smooth, creamy and buttery mouth-feel. Flavors actually not that strong, hints of pineapple and perhaps a bit of apricot. Absolutely delicious. Went amazing with a ginger orange Asian pork dish with roasted sesame.

December 21, 2013 - Very nice, a touch oxidized I'm afraid, but really tasty nonetheless - Deep gold, full bodied with a nose of pear, apple, caramel, butterscotch, spice and crème Brule, well structured, balanced and complex, sweet, smooth on the palate with very good length (89 Points).

September 21, 2013 - an over the top Chardonnay ... with all the options .. you really need to drink this along with ... say $14 (cdn) Wolfblass and $16 Wente ...as a comparison on how this ramps up ...OMG ... the storey I was told is that the LCBO ( Ontario ) bought all the remaining inventory and is selling at $20 ... lobo#544981 if you can search and find before they are all gone. Or see me - I have 8 left.

September 3, 2013 - Big nose of buttery hazelnut and prototypical Chardonnay fruit. Sweet oak counterbalanced by full fruit and length. Hedonistic.
