Tannins have finally given way to a better balanced chard. Creaminess has also opened up to some mineral and lemon finish. Still stays in the mouth and lingers. Probably the best this wine has drunk for my old world palate.

Similar to previous note. It's the style, I guess. If you like overextracted chardonnay with all secondary flavor, then be my guest. I'm taking the other four I have back. It's not worth the $22 I paid for it. I can do much better for less.

Nice nose of wet stone, candlewax, orange, and banana...pretty complex. The mouthfeel is super butterscotchy with tons of candlewax. It's too waxy with massive mineral, stony moss. Where's the fruit? It's got no acidity either. The finish, however, is long. This wine isn't horrendous but it needs some cirtrus to balance it out. Hopefully my other bottles are better. WTF turley!
