Burnt toast aromas, something vegetal in there too. A little butter, and a lot of minerality. Citrus fruits on the palate, very rounded, quite smooth. Oaky. But nice zingy acidity to it, at least through the mid palate. No mistaking this is a chard alright. Quite astringent and exceptionally hot on the finish. Perhaps a little too spirity warm on the length to make it very enjoyable.

In blind tasting of 5 chards, this won. I thought it was fantastic, regardless of price. Butterscotch on the nose. Beautiful acidity and balance. Tasted vanilla, butterscotch, pineapple. Delicious.

Naso caratterizzato principalmente da note floreali, buona mineralità, tostatura. In bocca la mineralità torna, buona freschezza e finale burroso senza risultare pesante. Legno presente e dosato a dovere. Bravi.

I thought this was a nice everyday chardonnay, with just enough butter and oak to make it interesting, and just enough acidity to stand up to our meal. I would definitely recommend this given its price
