Tasting note: More exotic and more tropical on the nose
than the 2007, hinting at butterscotch and honeyed high tones. Fat and
sweet, but with a slightly bitter edge to its honeyed flavor. Less
fleshy and fruity than the 2007, and currently conveying less minerality
too. Not showing the fruit it displayed from barrel a year ago: is this
in a dumb stage? (91pts. Stephen Tanzer)
Tasted: May/Jun 2009
Score: 91
Drink: N/A
Tasting note: The 2006 Chardonnay reveals brawny orange marmalade, white peach, and
popcorn notes with notions of oak and damp earth in the background.
Drink it over the next several years as I am suspect of the aging
potential of these Chardonnays. (91pts. Robert Parker)
Tasted: Dec. 2008
