I tried this a few years back and it was too reduced. It has come together nicely and deserves the scores it got. If it seems a little tight or gassy pour a glass and give it 15 minutes. The quality of the fruit as very nice and it had good balance. Great job.

84. First impression was that it was piss yellow, but under the current light it's more yellow green. Lemon in the nose with barnyard funk underneath, maybe a bit of papaya deep in the background? Nice acidity in the mouth, lending a continued impression of lemon, lightly oaked and a bare whisper of vanilla. moderate finish with lingering flavors found in the body. served with roast peel stuffed with a fennel-apple stuffing, the wine pairs nicely and more fruity notes come out.

Nice aromas of citrus fruit, pineapple and herbaceous notes on the nose and smooth round palate with a slight vanilla finish. Combines crispness with maturity. Has complexity and is different from your textbook Chardonnay. Good but drink up.

Rich and textured palate is round but finish on the hollow side. Never less a great valued wine.
