Critic Reviews (2)
This is a profound, mature, golden yellow chardonnay. The nose is huge and complex with all kinds of sponge toffee,...
Quite notably woody and creamy off the top, with a mouth-filling 15% alcohol that gives a sweet palate impression....

Golden yellow in colour with high intensity on the nose.
Positives: Too much to write about but here's a summary to this complex wine. Medium toasted oak, buttery, cream corn, creme brûlée lemon meringue pie, roasted marshmallows, apple pie, caramel & cashews. Full body, alcohol is well integrated, good acidity & very long length.
Negatives: 15% alcohol. Interesting Things: Don't over chill it & use the larger Chard wine glasses.
Drink now or cellar it for another 5-7 years. Drinks well on its own as a meal or pair it with lobster & drawn butter.
Tasted: 12 Jan 12
