lacking body and acidity compared to other vintage tasted, seemed a bit flat. Will try another bottle. Overall was enoyable, but not to the same quality as other vintage tried, so disappointed, but can't remember other vintage :-(

this bottle was a repalcement to an "off" bottle we openned last night, and was as it should be. maybe the vintage or that it's 3years old ... but it's not as stunning as some previous vintages, or that this bottle is not as flawed as the one from yesterday, they came from the same case ... clear fruit foward oaked chardonnay nose in the mouth, some creamy and subtle ripe flavours with oak background clear but not overpowering vanilla finish medium, ok nothing exciting
