  Unfortunately, this bottle was over the hill. Dark tan in color and notes of sherry on the nose and palate.

  Drunk at the Fine Wine Experience Mature California and Australian Wines from the Cellar of John Avery Dinner at Flint Bar and Grill, JW Marriott Hong Kong. Very fresh for its age, oak well integrated but still evident. Some passionfruit notes coming through.

  Almost reduced on opening. With a few hours gains strong roasted nut aromatics and richness. Fully mature and good but not at the level of some other older Mt Eden chards.

  With K at home at dinner (apple risotto). Deep, dark straw color. Nose is very good, reminiscent of a fine Chassage-Montrachet--butter, French oak, toasty, almost Burgundy--great! Rich And buttery on the palate as well, just like a fine Burgundy. Mouthfilling and very long, with a complex, lovely finish. Excellent wine, unbelievably good. I'd be thrilled if every Chardonnay tasted like this. Gets better and better with air. 5-12-18-8: 93/100.
