  Excellent balance of acidity, buttery oak and yellow/tropical fruit. Opulent and even a bit viscous and yet mellow. In a very good place, right now.

  Drank this on Tony Calandra’s G450 with him, Ron Keating and Jimmy Brock on the way to Pebble Beach Invitational…it was the best Chardonnay I have ever drank

  Haven't opened a high end win in some time. But tonight, I made lobster ravioli and decided to pop this. Bought on release through the mailing list. Cellared ever since with appropriate temp and humidity, under ground and then in a free standing unit. Cork was pristine. No ullage. Color was straw to light golden. Nose was interestingly citrus; by turns lemon curd, lime and mandarin orange. A touch of honeysuckle. Nothing heavy. If there is oak or butterscotch, I don't get that now. The flavors in the mouth are similar. There are some mildly exotic spices as well. Don't ask me to name them, but they are there. Mildly so. Complex. The finish is amazingly long. Persistent flavors and aromas as above. One bottle left. I'm not in a rush, but this is clearly low hanging fruit.

  桃子、香瓜和一点芒果，非常成熟甚至有些糖渍的果味，橡木桶带来的奶油玉米浓汤般的工艺香气经过十五年以上的陈年依然没有衰退，存在感比果味更强。酸度的些许欠缺让酒的平衡感趋向沉重，但丰满油润的个性的确让人印象深刻，搭配细腻的质地，如同一道瑞士奶酪火锅，带给人愉悦的饱腹感和舌尖上的慰藉。

  Compared to my note of two years ago, this when opened tonight did not really resemble when it did back then! I think this one is starting to head off to the happy hunting grounds. Popcorn kernel seemed to be a primary note here. Fruit structure was a little bit strange. Don't think it was corked. If you have a few of these, you might want to start putting them into your regular rotation!
