Late night at ES BK. Tasted blind. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow gold colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of yellow flowers, acacia, smokey gunflint ?toast, honeyed yellow fruit, golden apples, sweet cream. Developing. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of white and yellow flowers, golden apples, sweet honey peaches, apricots, cream. Long finish. Very good quality. Should still drink well over the next 3-4 years. Tough guess. I went for Pouilly-Fuisse. Some aromatic grape varietal thing going on on the nose, but on the palate quite distinct oaked Chardonnay feel. Ah ha! - Predominantly Chardonnay with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc.

Gaja wines tasting (Wine Depot, Tel-Aviv): light golden straw-yellow elegant fruity Chardonnay aroma with Sauvignon-blanc notes, white fruits, buttery hints, tropical fruits, straw full bodied, silky, rich, well balanced, fine white fruity flavours, nice minerality, excellent bitterness, excellent harmony, structured, complex, long white fruits finish and aftertaste.

Tropical Fruit, bit of floral, no butter on nose. Oily mouth feel. Nice balanced with strong acidity, and Balanced! Very good. Chardonnay blended with SB.

Consistent with previous note, but it’s slightly past it’s prime. Drink up!

Short note:
Aroma: citrus, some tropical fruit and hint of butter.
Quite full-bodied with very good acidity and a oily texture.
Very good length.
Nice indeed!
