It is unbelievable how nicely the wine matured, very smoky and vanilla type Chardonnay(fermented and aged in new French oak). Not for someone who does not love oak, here its quite a lot but in nice way and not as dull as some US Chardonnay can be:-) Previously drunk in December 2010 and September 2010, where you can find the labels, which I quite like as it is very traditional.
