  Medium gold colour. Medium and developed nose with dried yellow apples, dried peach, lemon, petroleum, mushrooms and wet stone. Medium taste of dried yellow apples, dried peach, lemon, petroleum , mushrooms and wet stone. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good and well matured Chardonnay. Drink now. Goes well with cheeses, fish or shellfish.

  Deep Amber. Honey and melon favors almost like a dry version of Sauternes. Good fruit. Ample acidity. Surprisingly well preserved

  The first clue that something was amiss was the fact that the cork easily popped in half as I was trying to pull it out. The initial smell was actually fantastic… warm apple pie and citrus. Seemed like I had a winner in my hand. Color was amber but not too horrible… not out of the line for 10 year old Chard. But the first sip… sherry. Underneath the butterscotch you can tell that this once was a wine of complexity and power, with a nice, oily body and hints of apple, overripe pear and peaches. Most of the notes I’ve read for this wine mention bracing acidity but in this bottle it was 100% gone. GRRR.

  Fantastic white Alsace blend of chardonnay and auxerrois. For an '05 this is drinking great right now! Beautiful golden color, nose of creamy lemon pith and honey. On the palate there's more of that creamy lemon cheesecake along with ripe golden delicious apple, dried apricot, creme brulee, and some fine acidity to balance out the fruit.

  I've tasted this wine three times now... once it was a fresh and fun 92 point wine easily... once it was an oxidized and interesting bottle that would hit 90 points easily for me, and this time it was a very much above average 88 point wine.
  
  QUINCE everywhere in it. Baked and even burned butter. Almost a runny milkshake of full-bodiedness. Burnt apple chips, too. I was very happy with it for 19$
