2013 vintage. According to the Okapi website, this Chardonnay was the last produced before the current 2022, but I see people here on Delectable who seem to have tasted other ( non-existing?) vintages... This 2013 is a big, rich Chardonnay that has aged very well. Personally, I would prefer the oak a bit toned down, but it is integrated. While it is not a shy wine with abv. 14,9%, it also features fresh balancing acidity and very good length.
