  Similar to my last tasting note which was double blinded
  Medium plus aromas of unripe/ ripe golden apple and reductive flinty/ curry leaf aromas
  Medium bodied with palate of ripe apple - a little dilute IMO
  Nice fruit/ acid core typical of Chardonnay
  Medium finish dominated by acid
  Not a huge fan due to rather dilute palate - still a great CA Chardonnay but my least favorite of the AR offerings

  Mycket bättre än sist. Mycket har hänt på 10 månader.
  
  Mer koncentrerad frukt där syran inte ligger ovanpå allt bestämt.
  
  Citrusdrivet absolut men hittar även nötter, halm och brioche. Balanserat torrt och precist. Tror det är i sitt ”drinking window”.
  
  Perfekt till torskrygg med sandefjordsås och primörer.

  Reductive nose, a bit of plastic, but goes away with air to some degree. Somewhat green, green tobacco and apple. Acidity is not that strong, but pleasant. Nicely creamy, great texture. A bit salty.

  Double blind tasting
  Light gold color
  Medium aromas of unripe apple - pretty dominated at first with curry leaf/ gunpowder reductive aromas which did blow off with time in the glass - I initially had some radish/ root notes which threw me way off
  Rather light bodied with palate of lemon and dry rocks
  Medium acidity and medium alcohol with no phenolics
  I went with Gruner here but was obviously way off - Really had no idea
  This is rather dilute for a typical Ca Chardonnay IMO and other than the initial reductive notes it really didn't have much to say
  Definitely a fan of the Trout Gulch but less impressed with this offering
  Drink now or in next 1-2 years
