July 9, 2020 - Sour flavor. I don't think this was Premox. I have had this wine before some years ago and it was better. 80 is not great vintage but I was expecting more.

November 18, 2017 - 1980 was not a great year but this wine over performs. Rich, honeysuckle, slightly oxidized and musky and very complex. Very tertiary in nature. If you are a California chardonnay person you will hate this. I decanted it and it took about 1/2 and hour to come around. However, it faded quickly and when I revisited it about 2 hours later it was gone. At it's apex it was excellent.

June 21, 2014 - A bit disappointing in that it showed more like a generic old, albeit very good white Burg than it did as a fine old CC. Rich and with some fat, and the essence of stony mature Chardonnay. Nice, but not a transcendent bottle by any means.

December 24, 2012 - this was wonderful. surprisingly still fresh, with bracing acidity, a touch of nutty secondary notes, and some (not unbalanced) toasty oak.

June 14, 2012 - What a beautiful bottle. Still showing real complexity with smoke, a very light touch of caramel and old wood. Wet leaf, honey and some old apple. A hint of pineapple on the palate with some lemon. There's an incredible acidity kicking on the finish. Subtle underlying minerality (like water on galet).
Truly elegant with a surprising freshness at that age. Really great stuff.
