  Bright clear gold
  Bright pineapple and golden apple flavors with a hint of wood and enough mouthwatering acidity.
  This particular bottle does have some heat (14.3) poking through, so I would likely drink sooner rather than later. (But this actually continues to improve with air)

  Opened in Hong Kong. Slow-oxed for a while before being tasted blind.
  
  Absolutely gorgeous Marcassin, with notes of sweetcorn and caramel and tropical fruits such as mangos, pienapples and apricots. Going down very smoothly and the high alcohol was masked perfectly. If I were to nitpick, I would have wanted a tad more acidity and it wasn't the most complex wine - but this was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. My white WOTN for the dinner.
  
  I don't think this will get much better unfortunately, so don't hesitate to drink up if you have some on hand!

  Very nice wine but not at the typical level of this winery. Viscous feel. Some beautiful yellow fruit on the nose. Palate is missing some fruit depth. Drink soon. (91)

  initially the nose was very caramelized, with big pineapple notes like the filling of Taiwanese pineapple cake. Changed drastically 15 minutes later and showed lots of buttery notes, and definitely got better with aeration.

  A big hunky bottle of California Chardonnay. An excellent wine but clearly outclassed by the ‘07 Marcassin Vineyard. The fruit and glycerin is impressive and the wood is just a touch too prominent. While the Marcassin Vineyard marries the elevage to perfection, this bottle tips just a touch heavy handed. Still, this is nitpicking. I adore this wine and think this team makes the best Chardonnay not made in Burgundy. (93)
