Deep liquor concentrate fruit, creme de casis like. Red and dark berries, very opulent syrah/grenache. Very complex oak influence; spice, milk chocolate, leather, coffee. Notes of bacon :) Silky, sexy mouth feel. Full body, great finish: acidity and tannins in balance. All of it lathered in savory funk. A++. Looking forward to the next bottle.

Wonderful experience. Tasted over the course of 3 hours. Oxidized sherry-like nose, in addition to honey, caramel, peaches and cream. On the palate wine is viscous, engulfing the broadside of the tongue. Fruit is mid-toned with oak influence in spice and vanilla finish. Burnt to bitter almond provides a healthy finish. Old Chardonnay is not for eveyone
