Possibly the best chardonnay I've tasted. Awesome and powerful nose loaded with tropical smells like pineapple, banana and melon. Lots of minerality, loaded with wet flint and crushed stone smells also intense buttery creamy vanilla and custard as well. The smells translate to the palate, however, there is a potent lemon element to add. Long buttery finish thats sure to please most. Amazing wine.
