Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Wonderfully expressive, complex Chardonnay that offers up inviting aromas of coconut oil, buttermilk, yellow apple, apricot, orchard blossom and stony mineral. Still quite youthful on the palate, with vivacious acidity and generous oak accents. Crisp, lightly toasty finish has a lip-smacking mineral and orchard apple notes. Everything is in place for this to cellar nicely; expect it to become even more interesting over 5+ years. Also enjoyable tonight. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, Nov. 2012

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
