Very good. At first I detected a 'chemical' note to the nose...this resolved with air and likely related to oak. Palate was delicious....rich, full bodied with nice fruit remaining.

S.F....La Paulee style! (S.F. Ca.): Served blind....youthful, bright yellow, tropical fruit, vanilla oak with some toffee...but completely balanced well with big fresh acidity, crushed minerals, smoked honey. Little more sweetness in this...but I think it's all in there, and should age well for quite awhile.

Opened after a few minutes to a great nose. Wonderful flavors of citrus, slight oak, with a long and wonderful finish, lasting over minute. Perfect age and ready. If you have it, don't much longer, but I love this wine at this time.

1999 Marcassin Chardonnay Three Sisters Vineyard (USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast) Kleur: Diep goudgeel, zelfs wat naar bruinig toe Aroma / bouquet: Super-rijp bouquet. Caramel en toffee, halfgedroogde appeltjes, roomboter, vanille, kaneel, gebrande suiker / basterdsuiker, crème brûlée Smaak / Afdronk: Vol en boterzacht, superdik-sap, sherry-toontje, prachtige zachtheid met een mooie kaneelachtige bittertoon. Super-lengte. Algemeen / potentieel: Tsjah, je moet er van houden. Maar in dat geval is het ook een groot feestje… 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 92/100

Kleur: Diep goudgeel, beetje wijnsteenzuur-kristallen. Aroma / bouquet: Overrijp, geweldige complexiteit, wat karamel en toffee, crème brûlée, gedroogde appeltjes, gebrande nootjes Smaak / Afdronk: Verfrissende zuurgraad, dik-sap, karamel, basterdsuiker, crème brûlée. Indrukwekkende lengte met een bittertje in de afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: Briljante Cali-Chardi. Eigenlijk te oud. Maar met wat Époisses briljant. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 13 + Smaak / Afdronk: 16 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 93/100
Color: Deep golden yellow, little tartaric acid crystals Aroma / bouquet:. Overripe, great complexity, some caramel and toffee, creme brulee, dried apples, roasted nuts Taste / Aftertaste: Refreshing acidity, thick juice, caramel, brown sugar, creme brulee. Impressive length with a bitterness in the aftertaste. General / potential: Brilliant Cali-Chardi. Actually old. Brillijant with some Epoisses brilliant. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 13 + Taste / Finish: 16 + General / potential: 9 = 93/100
