I had recently quite a lot of oaked whites and I get the feeling I won't be a big fan of this style. The wine is undoubtely very good, still maintaining some freshness, it is tasty and full with quite a long finish, but too soft for my palate. It may pair well with some richer creamy food, mayby spaghetti carbonara.

Great color and nose opened up after a while with cream and some exotic fruit. Guess I've had one too many rich and/or steely chardonnays because the oak and high alcohol here was a bit overpowering. Well made bottle of wine though without a doubt

Nose: Very fresh with hits of lime and fresh herbs. Touch of richness of oak could also be detected.
Taste: Opulent. Big and creamy but still had everything i check. Very fresh with notes of white flowers and a hints of petroleum. Normally not a big fan of oaked chardonnays but this hit the spot.

Bright yellow-gold. Honeysuckle, butter, toffee and baked apple on the nose. Mid-full bodied with rich fruit and a balancing acidity. Long. Very solid oaked chardonnay.

Fantastic wine! As I am not chardonnay fan, this wine really surprised me! Well balanced, minimum acidity. We had it with sushi/maki.
