  Had a bottle of this last year and it was great - rich, full bodied and complex.
  
  Sadly, this second bottle was way over the hill. Browning color, leathery nose and sharp, bitter, nutty, oxidized flavors.

  Here I go, my first public tasting note on CT :-)
  
  Colour: Gosh, I feel kind of stupid to have forgotten this! I do recall that this is not a Chardonnay colour with its distinctive bright yellows. I promise this won't happen again :-)
  
  Smell: Some mineral notes to the nose but definitely strong pears smells.
  
  Taste: Some lemons at the beginning, with a good hazelnut finish.
  
  Lovely wine, worth the 5 years wait.
  
  We had this wine with shrimps and scallops in a saffron sauce - the meal was quite nice!
  
  I love Robert P but I will rate this wine using this scale: http://www.cellartracker.com/forum/tm.asp?m=14940&mpage=1&key=wine%2Cscores&#14940.
  
  I give it an 89, not quite entering the "perfection zone" as Bill puts it.

  Very dry, crisp citrus and mineral palate

  Steely nose with hints of vanilla. Palate of light citrus, grass, chalk and metal with a finish that fizzles into the abyss before it even begins. Consumed with mesquite grilled halibut and lobster, thankfully, as the meal saved the wine. Very disappointing compared to other vintages.
