Community Tasting Note

• MyCellar01 Likes this wine: 96 points

  September 10, 2014 - Colour pale golden. To begin very prominent matchstick character, which after time in glass lifts away & focuses on rich stone fruit, apricot nectar, with notes of toasted oak.
  
  On the palate there is a sense of richness, pleasurable texture & gentle minerality which lifts the nutty oily nectar characters in this Chardonnay.
  
  As wine warms the finish becomes smoother & longer, and fruit & oak become beautifully integrated.
  
  Like to revisit this in 3-5 years.
  
  Tried with semi hard cheeses from Italy, Spain & France.

  **Day Two**
  I wasn't a fan on day one as Beth was above, but Day Two this wine was singing a sweet tune! None of the driven oak from yesterday, this will be a real cellar dweller.
