  Continues to drink well with notes of apricot, apple, honeysuckle, and minerals with long luxurious finish. Paired with king crab legs.

  Popped and poured. Still youthful and intense. Orchard fruit, minerals, a touch of oak. Full bodied, fairly open knit but just enough focus to hold it together. Fairly mature but not over the hill. Drink next 3-5 years.

  Big and bold, with plenty of oak evident and alcohol showing. Some will love this, but I found it too over the top. I much preferred the La Carriere from the same vintage consumed a month or two ago, which I found to be much more elegant.

  Absolutely delicious. Hard to imagine it better. A unique combination of Burgundy and California. Bravo.

  A lush, baroque Chardonnay! Light yellow color. Complex abundant nose of apricot, peach, vanilla, butter, crème caramel and some exotic fruit. Creamy, thick texture. Takes over your palate completely: big and dominant. The 14,9% alc are well integrated. Very long lasting, ingratiating, overwhelming finish. Still young. Will enjoy wine lovers easily 5-7 more years. A textbook example of the Peter Michael Chardonnays. Bravo!
