  pale golden color
  med aroma intensity of peaches and nuts following by a long buttery-creamy-oaky finish of gently acidity, hints of toast and citrus.
  dry, full-bodied, med abv, good complexity, new world style with a focus on rich, buttery flavors and pronounced oak.
  enjoyable and easy to drink now - will age well for another 5 - 8 years.

  This one may be very controversial to some. It is an overload of butter and Oak but it still tastes good and is very enjoyable. I miss the days when they made more Burgundian style several years ago. This is much more new world and in your face. Like gold color. Explicit bouquet of butter with some hint of oak. On the pallet it is concentrated with loads of butter, oak, hints of toast and citrus. Very accessible now. Likely best to be drunk and the first 5 to 8 years of life.

  Full body, pale golden color. Intense orchard fruits, oak and herbs aroma. Predominantly mineral but complex palate of peaches and nuts following by a long creamy finish of gently acidity. Overall good chardonnay, rich but well balanced. Food friendly, well pairing to light cheeses. Serve 12ºC - 14ºC. Need aeration. Start drink next year.
