15’ Tor Durell Vineyard Chardonnay. Orange Zestiness(tang/orange Slurpee, lemon peel, guava, A bit tart , splash of tropical spices.
This Chardonnay has absolutely evolved for the better with little time in the bottle. Drink them up in the next 2/3 years Edit- It truly starts to balance out with a little time in the glass. Nice bottle!

15 Tor Durrell Chardonnay. Let it open up & warm up for about 20/30 minutes in the glass. Richly defined, the wine is lengthy & complex in honeycomb, pear and a moderate mix of acidity & texture, finishing with a ripe orange- tangerine- pineapple mix👍 😳. 4/6 great years in it.
Edit- I’m finding theses wines (Tor Chards)need a bit of time in the bottle. Believe this will get even better.

A viscous, golden pour in the glass. Waxy honeycomb, mandarin rinds, spiced pear, hazelnuts, roasted pineapple and even a hint of sweet grapefruit pith. Rich and luscious, this is elegant and extravagant at the same time. Tipping my glass to the ultimate Tor fan, @Carl Fischer

The dogs thought I had a treat; they were right. This is an outstanding Chardonnay from @Tor Kenward . On the nose buttered toast, caramel, and dried pineapple. The wine is rich. On the palate: peaches, apricots, honey, iron. This wine has great ageability - I think it will be even better in 2-3 years - if I can resist opening up my remaining bottles.
