2006 J. K. Carriere Chardonnay

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Monday, October 5, 2009 - This bottle, though stored in cellar since it was shipped from the winery, is considerably more evolved than the one I had three months ago. The oak influence is more obvious and this shows richer fruit on the palate and a more buttery (good salted butter, not obnoxious popcorn butter) texture than before. Some apple fruit but it's trending more toward pear, green plum, nectarine, and marcona almond. The minerality and ginger spice is still there, but it's broader on the palate, with less focus. While this bottle's evolution might be an aberration, I wonder if it's a sign to drink up.
