Wow, what a fascinating adventure old Chardonnay is. Golden color, like an old Sauternes, the nose is actually somewhat fresh and the initial mouthfeel is green apples, but after about 10 seconds in the mouth this intense buttery richness floods the mouth, really an extrodinary experience.
Edit: after 30 minutes in the glass I’m upping this from 94-96 - simply extrodinary.
2nd edit: I have to take this to 100 - it kept getting better through the night, and today then 1 glass I had left in the bottle is just beyond extraordinary - it's a 3 minute journey of flavor after every sip.
