February 11, 2023 - Vanilla apricot nose with a touch of allspice. Mildly promising but weak nose leads to a flat and smooth and viscous tasting. Alcohol is high compared to the acidity and it results in one of those "buttery" flabby wines. Not particularly dry, no carbonation. Cellar kept so should have been fine even if opened a little later than recommended. Overall just too much young oak on top of chardonnay grapes characteristic of the 2018 vintage: too sweet, too high alcohol, difficult to balance.
