  Suggest to leave this wine well alone for at least 30 minutes after opening to allow it to settle and find its balance. Strong yellow colour and a nose with a strong hint of vanilla, reflecting the oak involved. Not overpowering though, nose in addition hints at fruit, I would say red apple. Palate, while indeed rich on vanilla is still balanced with nice fruit, again some apple and also more tropical hints, as well as a nice acidity. Often times not a great fan of oaked Chardonnay, but this wine manages to retain a nice balance and very enjoyable whole.
