  September 2, 2012 - Tasted at dinner with friends on 9/1912; truly excellent. Lots of oak and butter and citrus fruit. Eveyone raved over the wine

  May 1, 2009 - Medium to dark gold...like clarified butter...and that's what I took away from this. On opening an oaky nose and no fruit...a few hours later just a tad of citrus elements. On the palate...butter with an oaky and light acidic grip...where's the fruit? Either this wine has gotten old...or I have. Truth is...we both have.

  February 26, 2009 - Original straw color has turned to a bright yellow gold, a little cloudy due to the absence of fining. This wine has really aged well and i am glad i saved this one bottle. The nose is tropical fruit, yeast, honey, vanilla and hazelnut. The toasty oak is still there but in the background with vanilla coming forward layered with pear, orange and nutmeg. This is a full bodied voluptuous chardonnay with intensity, complexity and richness. Good mineral notes come out with the long finish. I originally rate at 87 but time in the bottle moves it out of the 80's.
