Good presentation. Nice texture and mouthfeel., generous dose of oak. Layers of almonds and honeysuckle. Finishes moderately sweet.

Quite a lot of oak. Vanilla, baked apple, nutty and nice acid. Lots of oak, but was tamed with food.

09 foxen bien nacido vineyard block uu Chardonnay. Literally my favorite foxen wine every year... Still bright but with a touch of sherry character, quince, mandarin orange and lemon peel. A light hint of vanilla extract and buttered popcorn. Awesome after 6 years

This Chardonnay is easily one of the best I've had. Tastes of oak and butter are completely absent with this gem.
