Early skepticism evolves to exude an oxymoronic humble hubris. Ripe plum flavors blend effortlessly against an appropriate dryness in a blend befitting of its name, Ol' Mischief. — 8 years ago

I should have sent a 2012 Beau Vigne Chardonnay to you. It's significantly better! I'm finding the 14 a little lackluster these days as well. Perhaps mpre time in the bottle to integrate?
