January 20, 2017 - 1988 AU BON CLIMAT SANFORD & BENEDICT RESERVE CHARDONNAY- although this bottle had some oxidized coloring and notes, the true essence of the amazing bounty of the original product was still evidenced; this one had concentrated pear, apple, stone fruit and citrus notes along with some butterscotch and caramel which was transported in a smooth and lush texture all the way to the back end; still viable and enjoyable and for me a re-visit to one of my favorite all time Chardonnays from this producer.
