When first opened, this was slightly metallic and rough. Gassed, recorked and returned to this 2 weeks later, and felt this was outstanding. Too short in the finish, and a bit lacking in depth, but very likeable, and an incredibly outstanding QPR.

This wine was a light golden color with a rich nose that had a slight tropical tinge. The nose had distinctive tropical aromas of coconut, banana, and a little pineapple (like the acidity of pineapple providing a bit of searing acidity at the end). The mouthfeel was full-bodied but slightly one-dimensional. The highpoint was great acidity on the finish - this is not a flabby California Chardonnay.

Citrus to the grapefruit side on the nose. Nice soft richness on the mouth - gently oaked.
