  February 1, 2013 - Pnp, this had a very odd aroma for a little while, couldn't quite put my finger on it. However, after awhile the funk faded and lemon curd, lemon/orange zest, toasted almonds, pear. On the palate, there was an initially there was bitter harshness, but the wine swelled a bit with air and softened to almost viscous honey. The taste followed followed the aromas very closely. Very good wine and has held up very well.
  
  After reading the previous note, the taster mentioned apricots, i would say dried apricot. The problem with dried apricots is that most have a lot of sulfer. Therefore the sulfer is the culprit for the funk, give it 30 minutes to blow off and you'll have a very nice wine.

  August 31, 2007 - A nice oaked Chardonnay. Dark straw/green reflections. Citrus/apple moving on to apricot, sour cream minerals and vanilla. A long and multi-layered finish. Somehow a bit "heavier" (apricot) and less fresh than I remembered previous vintages.
