Lots of oak, butter, and cream. Balanced acidity with hints of pear and lemon. Not what I want to drink all of the time but I still enjoy this older (and currently disdained by the cool kids) style occasionally.

Nose: coconut and green banana, fresh pineapple, some white grapefruit, buttery shortbread cookies, sourdough bread, creme fraiche. Very attractive nose. Taste: dry, medium body, buttery texture with fairly powerful acidity to lift it. Coconut, green banana, and pineapple carry through. Yellow apple/fresh cider, and sourdough bread. Certain sharpness to the finish, with a bit of a bite or heat on the back. Finish could be smoother and better integrated. Serving cold could help. Better for sipping as a result. 84.

Nose: pineapple, citrus fruits, banana, wax candle, coconut flakes, woody, aromatic acidic nose. Taste: dry, acidic, woody, coconut water, bamboo. Taste like how it smells. Banana bread. The finish carries too much bitterness and rubbing alcohol. Nice fruit flavor profile but the composition is not well integrated.

Great chardonnay at a reasonable price. Woody notes with vanilla. I will definitely it buy again.

Very good QPR. Agree with Ex-Ray with plenty butterscotch, vanilla, and oak. Great if you like that style...my wife does!
