great bouquet jumps out of the bottle. Full bodied for a chard. Big mouthfeel. The amount of oak is quite nice--just like I like it. The fruit seemed somewhat "dark and/or heavy." The fruit was just not quite what I like in my chardonnay. Too bad because the bouquet is exceptional and promises a rally nice wine. But is is good to very good. My wife really liked it. I am not sure if this will improve that much, but it does have good acid so we will see. I have more.
