Powerful tasty wine. Some oak. On second day developed interesting caramel notes. Surprisingly did not seem to have declined - will be interesting to see how it develops.

14,5% d'alcool, 100% Chardonnay Oeil : doré passablement soutenu, brillant en surface, forte viscosité en parois Nez : projection d'intensité moyenne à forte, toasté, noisette, boisé très présent mais élégant, fruité massif sur la mangue, miellé intense, touche épicé, beurré, légèrement minéral, aucune oxydation perceptible, demeure frais malgré l'intensité. Bouche : sec, gras, acidité rafraîchissante à faible, pratiquement aucune amertume, très belle longueur, soyeux, rétro boisée fondue, de miel, de noisette et fruitée. Conclusion : mûr, excellent et à son apogée, un brin de fraîcheur supplémentaire aurait été de mise, mais tout de même très très agréable et charmeur. À boire, aucune raison de l'attendre davantage... 90+

Started off disjointed, but managed to recover into something approaching an overmanipulated but pleasurable CA Chard. Would not buy again unless it was under $15.

Again as is true for wines from this region drink no more than 2 years old.

Decanter New World Fine Wine Encounter (Landmark Hotel, London, England): Burnt butter nose, palate still showing oak but should mellow.

Nice citrus and apple notes. Not over oaked.

Yellow but almost golden. Aroma of a bit of vanilla and citrus. Taste of vanilla with lots of citrus underneath with a long lemony finish.
