2012 - Never been greatly enamoured with this wine, too much oak character for me

Not sure if it is the bottle, but not as good as previous bottles...

A lovely Chardonnay but unfortunately corked. The palate was less affected and was rich and full.

Augh, drank this months ago. Lone btl on KL online from 2012. Poured this btg at Jiko years ago and loved its old world feel. Still has that Meursault like something. HR wines never disappoint!
