Last Tasted 8/92
I have been fortunate enough to have this wine at several tastings where a number of tasters gave it perfect scores. Certainly it was stunning when I tasted it in August. With a bold, even dramatic nose of buttered popcorn, honeyed apples, oranges, and toasty new oak, its velvety, viscous, chewy texture is crammed with sweet, expansive Chardonnay fruit. There is barely enough acidity to hold everything together, and the finish is explosively long, rich, and buttery. Drinking beautifully now, it should continue to improve for another 5-7 years.
