I was very interested in this Chardonnay whether it would still be alive given the vintage. And it was very very nice, the color was slightly lighter than I would have expected. The nose was visibly marked by overripe mango. The body was medium, rounded, again main characteristics was mango and canned pineapple. I was surprised by the reasonable level of alcohol given the origin of the wine. Overall nice surprise, even my loved one requested more:)
