Ok, so this (gifted to me) bottle is well made and it is drinking on it's peak right now. Pop n pour and you're ready to go. This has a very over the top full throttle tropical/oaky/buttery style. A bit too much for my palate but I can see others scoring this 94-95 if this would be up your alley. Dispite the low-ish score I did enjoy it a lot!

Popcorny cali chardonnay with just enough freshness to counter the 14%. The expressive fruits are mellowing down and some tertiary nuances appear. Lovely wine with a Dutch twist.

Got a couple of bottles from a friend who stopped drinking. Big oaky style, a bit too much for me 🤣
