Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
My idea of the perfect, big, bold, nutty, buttered toast and tropical fruit-laden New World chardonnay ... Third-generation winemaker Nicolas Catena was the first in his family to spot the potential of his country’s cool climate and high-altitude vineyards in the Nineties and the results have been impressive – as anyone tasting this terrific young, rich, smoky, sappy Côte-d’Or-like, French oak-aged chardonnay can discover for themselves.
