Tasting note:

Lemon freshness in this unoaked chardonnay that has incredible richness nonetheless. Zesty, balanced, full-bodied yet refreshing. Aging on the less gives the wine its creamy richness, rather than oak. Food matches: baked oysters in a white-wine sauce garnished with watercress.

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:
A very pleasing nose here, with very good fruit aromas accented by a suggestion of candy, plus warm and pleasant lees note. Dry, medium bodied and tasty with very flavourful apple, peach and sweet oak. Everything is kept in line by a balancing backbone of vibrant acidity. This unoaked Chardonnay ends with a satisfyingly long and tasty finish. Source: Vintages Wine Panel
