1994 Talley Chardonnnay

[redsauced]

Well, believe it or not this one's got a lot of life left. Rich golden in color, darker than the 2001's. Definite floral notes, and a nice surprize of white peach. Toasted vanilla (of course). Only drawback for some would be the mega-butter/oak bomb finish. Makes me want to rent a movie. All in all, pretty tasty, but out of whack in a way that's hard for me to explain. I thought the elements of this one would have faded, but they seem to have gone the other direction to an interesting maturity level. (again hard to explain)
