This is an odd wine to describe. It is sort of a citrus-vanilla taste. I think what is unique about the wine is that it is so smooth while being crisp and clean at the same time. There is no evidence that the wine is past it's drinking window.

Straw yellow, looks like a chardonnay (duh). Bouquet is quite nice, but unique and I can't identify anything it reminds me of. On the palate, it was much better at about 60 degrees than colder. Not much acidiity or tartness, nice balance between the fruit and oak / honey flavors. It's holding up pretty well for a 5 year old chardonnay. It paired nicely with chicken soup and baked chicken, and it's also very nice by itself. Good QPR at 11.50.

This one went pretty fast at dinner, so folks must have liked it a lot. I certainly did. I'll taste my next bottle more slowly and post some more exensive notes.

Consistent with last notes in February/08. Wish I had more of this.

I am not a huge Chardonnay fan, but I have to say I enjoyed this one. Not an excessively buttery Chardonnay like some others I have tried.
