With Kathy and Miranda at home at dinner (linguine with clam sauce). Good color, decent viscosity. Has the nose I am beginning to associate with this wine no matter what the vintage. Buttered apples and rich butterscotch. Even toffee. Rich in the mouth, too. It's about time I got back to this wine, after liking it so much in the past and then getting caught up in the hoopla about the "trendy" wines that were MAYBE flashier and more impressive in their youth but fell apart almost immediately--notably the Formans. (I shouldn't say that since I just met the man last weekend at Singer & Foy, tasting the 1989 Burgundies of Lafarge and Bachelet.). Actually, for me, this is almost reference standard Chardonnay. Bravo! I'll be buying more of this one. 5-12-16-7: 90/100

Chateau St. Jean Tasting at the Winery (Kenwood, Ca.): Richer, creamier fruit on the nose, medium/big body, good acid on finish.
