Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 22, 2016 - Appearance: Clear wine with a medium lemon colour.

Nose: Clean nose with a pronounced intensity. This wine is developing.

Wow, a lot of intensity here! Expressive ripe fruits such as green mango, ripe pear and golden apples make a beautiful mix, supported by vanilla, toast and a creamy, buttery note. Really nicely integrated oak and a lovely wine to sniff.

Palate:
Dry
Medium+ acidity
Medium+ alcohol
Medium+ intensity
Medium+ body
Medium finish

Buttery and creamy on the palate but with enough acidity to avoid flabbiness. Lots of baked lemon and stone fruits, although the citrus is a tad aggressive. Slightly bitter finish.

Very good quality Chardonnay from Mendoza, Argentina. Can drink now but stands to gain complexity over the next 1-3 years. At 20 euros a bottle, good QPR.
