  Love this Chardonnay, bottle aging has only improved it, developing a fantastic straw gold colour, after 7 years the wine is well balanced, and I would compare it to a similarly aged chateauneuff white. Fantastic value.

  Love this wine , always have but I think the key is to age it long. More than you would expect. That should bring out more of the pineapple and tropical fruit while cutting out the slight petrol bite you get in the finish. This wine aged properly is a steal at this price compared to aged burgs and Cali chards

  Weekly tasting group RWP #260: 10-20-30 plus euro's (@ RW): Beautiful and expressive bouquet with honey and ripe tropical fruits. On the palate the same impressions. Good balance between firm sweetness an good acidity. Some bitterness in the finish.

  Extremely high quality Chard in the Burg vein... pear on the nose and palate, citrus, apple. Thick, rich, waxy body. Oak is there for support but takes a back seat to the creamy fruit and citrus. Like a lemon meringue pie.
  
  Wasn't expecting this from a 16 dollar Chilean Chardonnay.
