Golden/amber hue and good tearing. Smell was not the strength of this particular bottle - it had hints of moss, cellar and cork although rather mild. The taste was heavenly - of a well-evolved California Chardonnay - oaky, rounded and now with light caramelized hints. A phenomenal wine that might have been 2 years past its ultimate prime (2009)

Surprisingly, still very much alive, full of interesting herbal aromas and multi layered flavors. I was worried this wine might be on its last leg, but it's still got a few good years left in it.
