Remains in good shape, but I'm not sure it isn't losing a little balance in the fruit; I'm wondering if the grapefruit and creamy oak characters are more to the fore, as opposed to sweeter or complex, secondary flavours. The back end seems a bit more bitter almond than I recall.
Or I'm simply in an uncharitable mood on this my 11th bottle out of my 12 purchased!

Honeymelon and nutty. Some Cinnamon character. Heavy bodied for a Chardonnay. Good stuff.

Very flavorsome. Very taut. High acid strength. Pleasantly tart.
