November 5, 2016 - As Callum says. Too ripe, too sweet, not enough acidity, bit simple. Disappointing as the Chardonnay they produce is fantastic

October 3, 2016 - Needed to be well chilled. Too ripe, lacks structure/acidity.
Expected more from this (usually) excellent producer.
Nose... No intensity, a hint only of quince and pear.
Taste....soft ripe white fruits, there is some acid to balance this - but, for me, insufficient. A quite charm about it, if I'm being generous. Good Quaffer, I suppose.
VFM? At £10.00 not really. Worth £8.00. Probably not going to improve with keeping, no power or intensity here. Drink up. Black Cottage PG for similar price was twice the wine. -
