  February 8, 2018 - this wine is still GOOD at 12 years old! Incredible but, objectively, it is a good not terrific chardonnay. We had it with Dungeness crab with black bean sauce and it did an admirable job complimenting the food. And it held up well to spicy Chinese black bean sauce. We tasted it as a test of how long a Domaine Drouhin chard could age and still be drinkable. It passed but, in my opinion, didn't measure up to the 2012 Domaine Drouhin chard we also drank.

  June 16, 2013 - Snappy acidity, lemon curd and,peach. Nicely complex, with nuances of flavors peeking out. Really delightful.

  February 18, 2013 - Bright straw yellow color. Forward aromas of pear, apple, vanilla, and nutmeg. Palate has melon, pear, yellow apple, and nutmeg notes that tail into a vanilla floral finish of medium-short length. After a few minutes in the glass, this shows heat on the finish and has some astringency associated with the alcohol. Very similar to the 2009 in this respect and really not showing any more advancement than the 2009 at this age. Amazingly fresh, but a bit disappointing that the alcohol shows up on the finish. Drink or hold.

  October 6, 2012 - Interesting wine to taste. Everything is well proportioned, nothing sticks out. The aromatics resembles Meursault; green fruit, nuts and a whiff of citrus. Slightly flat/dull on the palate, lacks freshness, a full but not fat wine. Chez Niels at Weehawken.
