This is so good, and such a treat to drink 15 year old Chardonnay. Green apple and bits of lemon and butter. Everything is so well integrated, with no hard edges at all. Drank two bottles, and no sign of oxidation or age on either. Excellent now, but undoubtedly fun to try again in a few years.

This is my 4th bottle consumed out of of a mixed 6 pack of aged Terrien chardonnays. Overall they have been great and a very nice value, but this one was showing more age than the others. Drink now.

Another winner from the Terrien mixed chardonnay case. Relatively speaking I rate this a little lower than some of the others but they’re all really good and I can’t believe these are 10+ year old CA chardonnay.
Nose of lemon curd, white flowers. Creamy palate, with more lemon curd, hints of tropical fruits, and a slightly bitter but nevertheless pleasant medium to long finish. This is quite good though a bit too typical oaky CA Chardonnay for me. Having said that I enjoy drinking it. These seem to sit on a nice middle ground for me. So far the 2012 is the standout. But what a pleasure to try a series of aged Chardonnay’s. At 12 years this is not over the hill at all. And perhaps it may still improve. PnP. Grassl liberte.
