  Apple, pears, pineapple, and citrus, in a golden, full-bodied, 11-year-old Chardonnay. Clean, balanced, with a hint of creaminess, in peak form.

  The wine looks yellow brown colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon, apple, lime, dust and flint. It tastes like lemon, lime, pineapple, mango, apple, dust and flint. The body is medium/full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity. Still seems to have life.
  Would drink at any time if you still have a bottle. Lacks complexity of single vineyard wines.

  Excellent Chardonnay. Citrus, vanilla and that creamy pineapple that I love... wish I had more

  Very solid, nice balance among oak, touch of vanilla, and crisp apple.

  Clear, medium appearance, gold color. Youthful aromas, medium intensity. Primary and secondary notes of lemon zest, pear, hazelnut, vanilla, orange blossom and sandstone. Dry on the palate, with medium+ acid and medium+ tannin. Full body and high alcohol. Flavors of lime, pear, orange zest, clove, white pepper, fruit blossoms and slate. Full and rich in style with brightness to the fruit. Silky voluptuous style with decent balance. Medium finish with apparent heat.
