Very lovely and hi new world Chardonnay ages gracefully. It is tropical but apple/quince-esqe on the nose. It is full but also light in the mouth. Worthy. Fully. But demure.

Had another bottle. Golden straw with tropical fruit aromas and floral spice. 40% of the wine was age for 12 months in French oak barrels. The cool-climate Casablanca Chardonnay shows flavors ripe pineapple, melon and tropical fruit with some banana (which I remembered from my last taste). On the finish balanced acidity, well integrated, nice soft ending with good length. Still tastes fine.

16/20 (90/100)

Аромат сладковатый, полный, фруктово-ванильный, с заметным, но не излишним присутствием дуба, персик, цукаты ананаса, сливочное масло. Очень полно, обаятельно. Вкус полный, с тонами фруктов и выпечки, в послевкусии легкие ореховые нотки. Отлично.

Цвет золотистый. Ананас, экзотические фрукты, абрикос. Увесистое вино, мед, прополис. Вкус соответствует аромату, чипсы ананаса, курага, кардамон, дуб. Мощно, полно, концентрированно. Ваниль, пчелопродукты. Интересно, выраженный стиль.

Vivid golden color with tropical fruit aromas and a touch of floral spice. The wine was age for 12 months in French oak barrels (40% of it). The palate on this cool-climate Casablanca Chardonnay shows ripe pineapple, melon and tropical fruit flavors with hints of banana (which took me a few tastes to figure out). On the finish gentle acidity, well integrated, nice balance ends smooth with good length.

Среднетелое шардоне с характерным жареным тоном во вкусе, который очень сильно все забивает. При этом весьма хорошая кислотность. Аромат достаточно блеклый: желтые фрукты, легкая дубовость

A bit buttery but not overly so. Balanced.

Boisterous, leesy, coconuty, broad, creamy. This is a full-impact wine with just enough structure to keep it all encased.
