  Still drinking well, but not quite in the sweet spot as it was one year ago. This was our last bottle and I would encourage anyone with remaining bottles to drink up this year. Golden color. Still vanilla, honey and minerals in the nose and peaches and apples in the flavor though definitely not as creamy on the palate. Well balanced, medium to full bodied and a long smooth finish. 93-94

  Sensational wine: deep golden color, overwhelming, decadent nose immediately after the cork was out! Fat, buttery, creamy and oily texture, which makes the wine filling out every space, every corner of your mouth and palate; you can’t escape. Supercomplex: notes of peach, apricot, pineapple and other exotic fruits. Vanilla and loads of honey. Superconcentrated. Deep. Complex. Medium to long finish. I doubt whether many wine lovers would be able to identify this one against a Montrachet Grand Cru in a blind tasting.
  No signs of oxidation. But as I have no experience of old Mount Eden Chardonnays I cannot predict how long this wonderful piece of wine art will persist. Absolutely wonderful now.

  This wine was actually in a sweet spot at 15 years old, lush fruit, creamy palate yet nice acidity. Bright gold color. Pears, vanilla and honey in the nose with hints of nuttiness, floral, spice and minerals. Pears, apples and peaches in the flavor. Very well balanced, medium to full bodied and a luscious very smooth and creamy finish. Wow!
