Birthday Wines (Kruger's D*ck): Sort of a surprise to see this one in the lineup given the rest of the wines. Even so, this showed beautifully. In a fully mature stage right now, this was quite richer than the DuMOL Isobel tried prior. More toasted bread, more almonds, clotted cream, and yellow apple. The acid is a touch behind the intensity and richness of the palate, but overall nicely balanced.

This wine has a golden hue, clear, almost brlilliant. Vanilla and nutty notes overpower the nose. While the nose is not that interesting, the palate shows more promise with enough acidity to balance out the apple, vanilla and spice flavors.

Still living. Quite complex. Citrus fruits on a background of smoke and minerals.
Drink now.

This was very good, lemon grass on the nose, nice creamy and velvety mouth feel. Pop and pour, this is at it prime. Wish i had more.

Excellent bottle. Great balance. Very nice blend of Chardonnay flavors. Could not ask for more.
