Ripe and fruity nose, a touch of reduction slowly dissipates to reveal papaya, melon, and Meyer lemons. Easy going on the palate, tropical fruit and orange citrus with a pithy undercurrent.

Pretty much as my previous note. Mainly tropical fruits with the restrained citrus acidity. Quite sweet fruit making this an easy drinking Chardonnay. At this stage I found this a pleasant wine but rather a crowd pleaser with fairly limited personality. I didn't enjoy it as much as earlier bottles. A few hours later, the wine tasted much 'thinner' and there were unfortunate hints of 'pear drops'. 86-

This is always a reliable Macon - good value and with expected Macon character but not especially complex. Good mouthfeel, good fruit (with pears showing through after an hour or more), a hint of citrus, good balance with enough acidity to go with food (but not so much that cannot be enjoyed as an aperitif).

Pale yellow. green apples, minerals, touch of oak and crisp acidity. great qpr, with none of that macon flabbiness.
