Bright straw yellow with pronounced golden hues. Very thick, glass coating consistency. Nose of pear, vanilla and quince. Tastes of pear, butterscotch, honeysuckle nectar and lemon melange. Mouth coating texture. Long finish. Thought this might be past its prime, but most of the oak of this wine has integrated.

Chardonnay Shootout - My #8, Group #12. Full deep yellow. Rich forward butterscotch fruit nose. Rich candied yellow fruit. Oaky but carries it off. May not have been a great bottle. 8/06

Chicago Week Geeks Taste Chardonnay (Palmito): Light gold color with a reticent nose of green apples. Palate has toasty oak and apples. A light body and crisp style. Well balanced and nicely put together, but lacking depth.

Perfect maturity and storage, but too oaky for my tastes. Typical big chard. Ho hum. 91 pts quality, 86 pts enjoyment and interest.

An excellent bottle; I was initially put off by the oak; drinking the second half a few days later, it was much more integrated. Delicious.
