Saturday, July 15, 2023 - All American Chardonnay Tasting (New Jersey, USA): Double decanted at 1:30pm and tasted through 8pm. Ever so I slightly oxidized (which seems moe common with this wine than most of my Cali Chards) with a deep lemon yellow color, buttered popcorn and butterscotch nose. Rich texture but not altogether in sync. Warmed nuts, lemon curd and butter on the palate. Medium acidity. Slightly disappointing, as I have had much better bottles of this.

The next day this was still similar but actually seemed a trifle fresher, believe it or not.
