Wonderful balance with pristine oak integration. Almost Burgundian were it not for fruit ripeness. A touch tropical with fig, baked lemon, refreshing and refined.

A little buttery with notes of citrus and pear. It was a decent Chardonnay.

Onomatopoeia like oompf, bam and kaplow. Mega! Yellow flowers, yellow apples, apricot, clovers and tinge of gypsy tears.

An fairly balanced wine. A tad too much creamy buttery flavored but there is good acidity to help give it some balance.

Solid Chardonnay, creamy with a good balance of soft fruit flavors like pear and a caramel finish.

Hints of bramley Apple dry and zesty. Slight aftertaste value at £7-8. Not worth £15.
