  Sadly my last bottle of this case. I just couldn't let it age any longer. This wine is so appealing when its 3-5 years of age.
  
  Color. Rich yellow. Like highway paint.
  
  Nose. Spicy oak, marigolds, lemon curd, buttered popcorn, elderflower liquor.
  
  Palate. Rich and full bodied. Starts with oak and then it fades into lemon, orange peel, grapefruit, then transitions to butter and back to a smoky oak. The finish lasts and lasts.
  
  We had this with homemade chicken and dumpling soup. It cuts through the butter and spices with ease. I bet you could drink this Chardonnay with prime rib. Amazing.

  I love this wine. Every vintage is so good. But there's subtle differences in age-ability. This one is a drink now.
  
  Nose. Spicy oak, cinnamon, clove, pumpkin, baked apple.
  
  Palate. Rich mouth feel. Full of spice and character. Fruit is really tough to discern at this point. Baked and charred apples.
