Still a somewhat pale straw colour, with butter and lemon/lime on the nose.
Butter again prominant on the palate, but ably supported by the fruit and tangy acidity. The butter fans out on the very long finish, also showing lees influence and offering a slightly waxy feel.
Indeed up until the finish, the wine is slightly pedestrian, but the sheer length of the finish (plus it having decent complexity) lifts my interest noticeably.

A bit flabby at this advanced age but folks who enjoy big and buttery chards kept asking me where they could get some more of this. Well made.

A bit rough, acidity high with an oak undertone. Somehow bit thin.

Nice rounded Chardonnay and not too over powering. Though I am no expert in Chardonnay!

Too oaky for me, but decently tasty with good fruit.
