Saturday, April 20, 2024 - Random Langtons auction purchase as I can't remember trying Botrytis Chardonnay before.
Not a lot of the citrus marmalade and creme brulee character I associate with botrytis...could be that's a difference between botrytis Chard and Sem but I wouldn't have thought so. This seems more late harvest that botrytis as it's a bit raisin-y. Maybe heat-affected and slightly madeirised. I don't get any distinctive Chardonnay characters but I admit to not knowing what botrytis Chard should be like.

Very disappointing, only a 375mL but still drunk less than half and tipped rest down the sink. Too old? Heat-damaged? Just a poor wine to begin with? Unsure, at least it was cheap.
