Pale garnet. A bit closed at first, but opens to smell like damp wood or wood shavings, clove, smoked meat, butter, and red jam. Not getting much fresh red or black fruit. Tannins are well-beveled and wide, coating the entire palate. Love the light amount of astringency for texture. Finish is long and smooth.

Pale purple. Effusive baked cherry. Followed by wet leaves, bacon and smoke. Unfortunately there is a layer of chemical/alcohol that is borderline overpowering and unenjoyable. Medium acid, smooth and long finish.

Slight greenish yellow. Mostly green apple and ripe pear. Secondary notes of honey and honeysuckle. But what got my attention about this wine is that it is, well…flabby. The crisp acidity of Chardonnay grown in Chablis is just not there. And this was disappointing.
