  Weekly tasting group RWP #276 Ad Bibendum wines (@ DJ): Ripe yellow fruits, some minerals and honey. On the palate yellow fruits, a bit fat, firm acidity and a good length.

  You'd have to be fous to like this bland, unsubtle and commercial tasting chardonnay.

  Quite a deep colour. Flowers on the initially restrained nose but more complex with citrus, spicy notes as it warmed. Apple with well-balanced lime acidity on the palate (almost reminiscent of a dry Clare Valley Riesling). Much better closer to room temperature when it opened and showed toffee and an attractive long, oily, lip-smacking ending. Good food wine and not your normal Chardonnay!
  A few hours later, there was a touch of asparagus and the wine was not quite so impressive. Perhaps 2013 doesn't live up to the plaudits given to the 2102?
