Toastier and creamier than I remembered it being. Just on the edge of showing some oxidation, which for a $60 bottle from a cool vintage like 2011 is concerning.

Back in Apex ski resort with winemakers of Okanagan valley (Apex, BC, Canada): Blind tasting. Shy nose of pear juice, a bit of thyme. Mouth balanced, not crunchy as I use to taste, but fleshy on peach and apricot, with a medium intensity. For this grape type, there's a strange texture of cotton, without spice, neither minerality. I was shure it was a Marsanne-Viognier from Rhone , with a gentle new oak. There’s a lot of effort and experience to make this chardonnay, but the result is strange.
