Poured into a decanter and consumed over 3 hours. Medium+ complex nose of honeysuckle, pear, nectarine, butter, corn, and wet stone. Medium+ acidity, medium body, medium+ saline finish. Not as concentrated on the palate, but still, this blew my mind - a wine from Portugal has no business to be this good!

It's fine, but mind you this isn't a cheap imitation - this would be more compelling at ~$50 as I think Oregon is more fruitful to explore in the world of chardonnay than something like this. Some reduction but a bit splenda-y. Didn't get too intense and thus missing that extra gear that it's namesake or other white burgs provide. A bit of woody-steely aftertaste that lingers and was a little off character.

Very floral. Still a bit young

Dare I say pretty decent imitation with matchstick aromatics and pretty substantial palate.
