Tasting notes

Yellow colour. Nose is quite intense, showing nuts, some new oak, butter, citrus and lots of minerals. Quite typical chardonnay-notes and perhaps a bit central-burgundy-like, except the slight touch of voile. Intence and acid-driven chardonnay in the mouth. Quite nutty and intense fruit. Good concentrated. Again the touch of oak, but well balanced. Quite nutty and mineral. Refreshing acids and good structure. Citrusy finish. Exotic, but very fine chardonnay for the price. Drinking fairly well now, but will be interesting to age some years.
