Riper but still balanced one the nose. Chalkiness, then born, sweet lemon. Good minerals.

This bottle has been staring at me for so long... After 10 years this Chardonnay is still going strong.

This was deliciously revelatory. Fresh yet creamy, rich yet bright & juicy. Loved it.

Open loose knit but very good. Recommended pairing: single raw scallop caught from the F/V Anna-Marie off Manomet and shucked by a man with one leg.

Lemon tart and caramel. Bright, zesty, and tastes much younger. Could still keep going.

A rich but classic style of CA Chardonnay. Still fresh and very very hard to guess it was 10 years old.

A wonderful California Chardonnay. Balanced, neither over Oaked or over extracted. Great with food because of its laser like focus. Perfect with fresh halibut.

Just found a nice go to Chard. Not quite Aubert or Peter Michael, but very decent. This 2005 was pure butter.
