Estate Bottled Old Head Dunnigan Hills Chardonnay

Good QPR.

Lovely color. Smells like tropical fruits and citrus. Flavors are nice. Tropical with a hint of apples. Crisp and tart. This is an acceptable Chard.

Oak, tons of it. Nice wine, but the oak over powers the fruit a bit. Unique flavor, but it would be a unique food paring to get a great match—smoked oysters maybe?

Really enjoyed this. Buttery and full bodied.

About Average

Vanilla at the end.

This wine is clear, pale lemon with medium(-) notes of banana, pineapple, vanilla, coconut cream and a faint whiff of mushrooms. The wine is developing. Dry on the palate with medium(-) acidity, medium(+) body and medium alcohol with medium(+) intensity flavors, showing notes of pineapple, green apple, toasted oak, cream and vanilla and medium(+) finish. The wine is acceptable, ready to drink but has some potential for aging.

Nice fruit and not overly osked. Very long finish.

Light on the nose with hints of oak and vanilla. Drinks well but a little acidic at first, but opens up with nice flavors peach and apricot, with a bit of oak, vanilla and a slight buttery finish.
