Nose: Ripe pineapple and candied lemons with honey traces. Palate: Mature Chard that has the honey and ripe fruits showing. This was the best bottle and last of my 4 and is fairly nice but like Pipcelot and others note below it is on the downslope so drink up now (assuming you do not have maderized bottles like my first two).

The wine looks Yellow gold colored. The legs are Slow. It smells like Grapefruit, Lemon, Oak, and Vanilla. It tastes like Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Pineapple, and Honey. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Angular texture. The wine finishes Long.

Not a great bouquet but the flavor is pretty good for the price if you like chardonnays with some oak. The wine is yellow gold colored with mineraly aroma and hints of grapefruit and oak. The taste is grapefruit, pear and medium oak with a smooth but shorter finish. Decent wine for the price.

Some butter and vnilla on the nose. Opens a bit on the palate with some grapefruit and toast. Crisp with more butter on the finish. Not overdone, but personally would prefer less butter.

Pretty much the same TN as in May. Solid Calif chardonnay. No hint of decline.

Decent chard, nothing too dramatic one way or the other. Did not seem to be on the down slope -- e.g., no oxidization and so forth.

Meh. Typical fruits, nothing to get excited about, and seems on the down slope.

Huge QPR in my opinion; integrated oak and butter but not over the top.
