"More restrained than normal, the 2005 Chardonnay Sbragia Limited Release offers copious quantities of honeyed fruit, full body, a rich, heady mouthfeel, but not the unctuosity normally found in this cuvee. Additionally, the oak is more restrained. There is abundant richness, but the vintage’s acidity provides plenty of vibrancy and precision. It should drink nicely for 3-4 years." 93 Points - Robert M. Parker, Jr.'s The Wine Advocate, Issue 168
"Exotic honey and apricot aromas are almost botrytis-like. Large-scaled, fat and full but less sweet than usual for this bottling; chewy and savory. Strong fruit is complemented by butterscotch and nuts on the rich, chewy, very long finish. The healthy acidity of 2005 gives this added power." 93 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 07
