Attractive, intense, toasty, oily, complex, ripe melon, citrus, and butterscotch aroma; fleshy, plush, toasty, ripe fruit flavors; well balanced and structured; slightly harsh on the finish. Deserves another year or two of bottle aging.

Ripe, rich and full-bodied, with fig, nectarine, pear, hazelnut and a light touch of toasty oak. Lush aftertaste.

A delicious mouthful of Chardonnay. Ripe, lush, rich and full-bodied, with layers of fig, nectarine, pear, hazelnut and just a light touch of toasty oak. Finishes in a long, luxuriant aftertaste. Drink now through 2005
