Has aged well. Last time i recall the fruit was intense and the wine crisp. This time it has softened and was very smooth without losing the fruit. Would like to see how ten years treats this wine. Recommended.

Outstanding and generous full-bodied Chardonnay that displays enticing and opulent flavors. Luxurious golden honey color with scents of tropical fruit basket and grated nutmeg. Glorious crème brulee entry flows towards wonderful characteristics of almond brioche, vanilla cone and buttered baked apple pie crust. An exotic mix of cinnamon stick and pears are woven together at mid-section gliding into an engaging, round finish marked by oak shadings and graham cracker. All the rich and lavish tastes are held in check with fine acidity leaving this white very nice without being too heavy or flabby. Beautiful now but can last for another year or two.

Complex, buttery, creamy, oak and vanilla, golden yellow. Hard to place the fruit component ands there were several fruits present. I would say peach came across but this was so well balanced that no one fruit stood out over another. Legs ran fairly quick as well.

Grilled pineapple, brioche, mango cream. Delicious, though dropped off just a tad at the end. First glass was the best of the bottle. Drink now.
