January 23, 2009 - Pine and grapefruit with even a hint of nectarine; loses pine over time. Oaked...definitely oaked on the palate with lots of fruit but a lingering mineral reminiscent of Pellegrino.
February 24, 2008 - just awful- fat and sickly sweet. not my thing at all.
January 5, 2008 - Heavily oaked - it dominates the wine. Sweet after taste, and little aroma. This is past its prime. Drink now. Usually a good bottle when younger.
August 23, 2007 - Club Tasting: Summer Chef Tour,Brandy Fernow (Gibby's): Aged in both stainless and neutral French oak barrels. Soft yellow color with aromas of minerals, fig and a soapy/floral note. Decent fruit flavors of apple and pear, with a slight smokiness on the somewhat rich finish.
May 13, 2007 - Crisp, un-oaked and no malo Chard. This is Talbott's value priced Chrad and their best in my opinion.
December 14, 2006 - A bit messy with muddled flavors of tropical fruit, grapefruit and mulling spice. Not especially enjoyable.
