Chardonnay 2012

There is a gold colour, which forebodes an intense, complex wine. One whiff of the bouquet and these indications are true. Along with intense tangy citrus and nectarine, some roasted nuts, a hint of butter and some yeasty overtones. Completing the picture is well-integrated vanillin French oak. This is wrapped in a creamy texture that is dry and talc like with crisp acid at the finish. Last tasted Feb 2023: Lemon, tangerine, grilled cashew nuts, very textural, lingering palate with lovely acidic finish.
