November 21, 2016 - Still excellent. Golden almost amber. Rich lush, slightly off dry. Incredible with a US Italian sausage pasta. Lots of flavor needs a robust dish to pair with. Wish I had more! Only slightly faded 6 hours later at dinner.

June 17, 2016 - Deep golden colour, full, long and generous. Some acidity and by no means falling apart, but probably slightly past its best.

March 8, 2016 - Last bottle from a case purchase - crazy color, almost like a desert wine, needed almost 6 hours to fully open up. Great melon fruit, some light oak, and really well balanced. I love the aged Chardonnays, they're not as bright as when they're young but still tremendous
