  The wine is clear and bright with a medium lemon colour. The nose is clean and developing, showing pronounced intensity aromas of tropical fruit (overripe banana, ripe pineapple), MLF (cream) and oak (vanilla, toast). The wine is off-dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has a medium(+) alcohol and a full body.

  It is a good quality wine. It has a pronounced concentration of flavours and the finish is persistent enough. However it lacks some acidity to balance the sweetness and the fruit concentration, and a better example of this style should be more complex.
  
  Drink now, not intended for ageing. The fruit will fade and the wine will become sour, it lacks enough acidic structure to be kept for more than 1 or 2 years.

  Ljust gyllene, vacker färg som säkerligen fått Knut-Christian under tiden som TV-kändis uttrycka något i riktningen: ”extravagant vulgaritet med renrasigt ädel och blåblodig kärna av Kejsar Chardonnay. Inramningen omsveper oss som av en känslosam diktning från självaste Ned Kelly. Är inte hinken på plats, så nyp mig!"
  Typ.
  Winet omges av en distinkt karaktär av TuttiFrutti (tablettask) för både snortning och sväljning. Syrorna är på plats, allt är balanserat, viss restsötma, gifter sig med Hiii-Haaa chips (smak av chilli, vitlök och kycklinghud. Japaner producerar särpräglade combos för oss västerlänningar, och denna är utan tvekan bäst!) på ett sätt som leder till livslång lycka.
  Inte ett vin att lagra, men gott att köpa - dricka.
  Montrachet från Yellow Tail. Långt från den sämsta Montrachet som producerats, men garanterat den mest PRISVÄRDA.

  I typically avoid critter wines. Was given this one by family, so felt bound to give it a try. Happen to enjoy this one enough to overlook the critter on the label. Everything I'd want in an every day chardonnay.
