A Chardonnay that got better the longer it sat in the glass.
Interesting aromas of oats and barley early, lemon juice threads its way through the core. Some cashews, nougat and lemon zest make a move with a biscuity feel too. I was scratching my head a little though. It just seems at odds with itself and doesn't mesh as much as I'd like but the bones of quality are still there. There's a tang but the oak feels clunky. Maybe it's me? Maybe give it more time? Given the choice for now I'd take the Estate.
