Always scared to drink old Napa Chardonnay. Tons of life left in this. Dried apricots, orange creamsicle, meringue, marshmallow, butterscotch pudding, perfect w/ smoked pork and smoked cabbage

Flint, dust, minerals on the nose; light butter and oak on the palate, tangy finish.

Bit out of balance at the moment. Sweet on the nose, with some match-head and rocks, not quite integrated oak and some juicy acidity. Needs a few years to settle.
