This is mild and lightly oaked on the front end, with peach and apple notes. It feels narrow and focused, with honeyed apple, pear and melon flavors that aren’t too sweet or candied. Light and simple feeling on the finish, with elegance. — (11/1/2012) —87

這款酒的香氣中帶有濃郁的含樹脂橡木味，轉(zhuǎn)而是果香。入口后可以感覺到酒精味和基本的風味，橡木味中夾帶著香料和白色水果的味道。該酒的風味還算適中，但是香氣和口感中的橡木味都過重。評分：84。

Brownish gold and losing speed with each passing moment. The oxidized, buttery nose is overdone and waxy, while the palate yields cider and cinnamon, seemingly the leftovers from the oaking it went through. The mouthfeel is flat, and overall it’s much like apricot juice. ——M.S.(2/1/2004)—— 81

Aged 100% in new French oak, this Chardonnay succeeds admirably in balancing full, ripe fruit, good acidity and creamy vanillin elements. Apple, orange, pumpkin-spice and vanilla notes on the nose open to a round, similarly flavored palate. The long finish shows elegant, tangy oak notes and apple and cream echoes. Drink now through 2004.——W.E.(12/15/2001)—— 89
