Community Tasting Note

  January 29, 2018 - First bottle of RM Chardonnay and was pleased with the experience.
  
  The wine is gold and medium bodied, no sediment or haziness.
  
  The smell is beautiful - almost like the filling of an almond croissant! Also getting some lemon curd and fresh cream. Very aromatic.
  
  On the palate, it is more steely and crisp than expected, but with an undeniable rich roundness that makes for a lasting finish. Creamy tropical fruit and lemon curd, with some marzipan throughout.
  
  Overall a strong impression and compels me to max out my allocation in the upcoming 2016 release! Need to delve into the SVDs and get some Theriot and Bearwallow as well.
