Very fruity with oak. Not subtle. Lingering green apple / citrus finish. A bit overdone. Probably better with food NOTE. This was the 2016 not the 2014 which is what the review indicates

The nose is outstanding with aromas of vanilla, carnations, pear, banana, ginger and dry stone. It's full bodied in the mouth and creamy and buttery but with a lively acidity that keeps it all from going overboard. There's flavors of almonds, lemon, pear and ginger. Then it finishes dry with oak and banana. It really is sensational all around and every Chardonnay lover should give it a try.

Extremely young has a bit of green under ripe apples up front finishes nicely with a slight hint of oak. Will age well is allowed to lay down for a year or so.
