Rich, slippery, full-flavoured style. Melon and peach, Jersey caramel, some sweet spicy wood. It’s glossy and buttery, but has bright enough acidity, lots of Chardonnay flavour here, in with spiced biscuits and maybe a little lemon zest and aniseed, pulls a bit flinty on the finish, and again plenty of buttered peach flavour in the aftertaste. I like it, though you have to like a fuller, more opulent style of Chardonnay.
