I had a bottle of this about 9 months ago and that was tired and on the cusp of being unpleasant (about 78 points). This bottle however was still fresh and pineapple-fruity with a good nose and a lovely old-world chardonnay fullness which is not as buttery as the new world chardonnays of 10 years ago. Still a pleasant aperitif wine, but now on its very last legs. It was a 92-93 at its height in 2009/2010.

Muted accents that surely were remarkable a few years ago, and now lost to time. It was nonetheless graceful and refreshig, but only could hint at the character of its youth. Woth the ten bucks or so spent on it four years back. The cellar was not kind enough in the end.

A little after the fact, consumed about a week ago. Great price and just what I was expecting. Nice rich fruit of Pouilly (mature pineapple), enjoyable on its own, happy with the 06 right now. Will get more while it's still around.

This wine is excellent at 3 years, at 6 (when this was drunk) it has faded.
