A high amount of sediment and "floaties" in the bottle. Sediment is NOT Wine diamonds, but more of a cloudy opaque substance that almost resembles lees, however the bottle was pristine when acquired and has been kept in pristine conditions. Once decanted off the substance aromas present with moderate intensity and display notes of apples, white flowers, vanilla and light oak and spice notes. On the palate acid is above moderate. The wine is moderate in weight and shows flavors of apples sautéed in butter, baking spices, lemon meringue, graham, florals, vanilla and oak. The wine finishes warm with the abv and clove like nuances.
I'd say drink them if you have them. specifically if they have developed similar deposits.

Yellow color with a bouquet an flavor of dry apples with pleasant acidity. Good balance but limited nuance. Very typical of unoaked Chardonnay. Tasted in Walla Walla on my family's great tour of the Washington wine region.

Enjoyable chard, lots of ripe apple and some butterscotch on the finish, easy to drink.
