Quite controversial chardonnay. Neither zesty Moravian nor full vanilla one from barique aging, although alcohol quite standing out. The girls like it but I am not such a fan of it.
Actually I am just going through the old wine magazine and I spotted this wine to be tasted on grand test of Chardonnay in 2008. It scored 83 points. So we are independently quite consistent and given the character of the wine it must have been a bit more rough year ago:)
