Deep gold colour with a lot of butter vanilla notes - more popcorn. Surprisingly good acidity with a high 14.5% abv. Enjoyable due to the acidity but no longer any primary notes. Would be very difficult to guess on a blind but did remind me of the Corton Charlemagne I had last month due to the buttery notes. Mouth feel was medium rather than rich which makes me lean more to an old world style of wine making.

Lovely golden yellow hue with pineapple citrus nose. Light oak, vanilla, butter compliments the tropical fruits in the palate. Evolves nicely in the glass with citrus acidity giving way to warm buttery luscious tropical fruits and vanilla. Modest length finish with nice acid balance.

Good chardonnay, but a little disappointing given the price point. More oak than I expected and much more simillar to a new world chard than I was expecting.

This wine had improved significantly and is now at its peak. This time I felt the wine was more integrated and interesting.

Tropical fruit, oak, butter with some acidity on the palate. Nice wine but I was hoping for more.
