To much butter and oak, very deconstructed pallet. Wish the apple and fruit nose was more prevalent in the pallet. Watery mouth feel with a short finish and dry leftovers. For some odd reason though I don't hate it...

A sur lie aged Chardonnay with apple, butter, and citrus flavors, very dense and chewy.

Nice straw colour which made me believe this was quite a full style Chardonnay. In the end, it underwhelmed with with only faint hints of apple and lime, and it was also shorter than I was hoping for. With that said, the oak was nicely balanced.
