This wine requires balloon glasses as it needs proper airing to show its nose. Heavy and riper style of Chardonnay with some toasting. Some people would hate it some would love it in huge glasses it drinks very well, in Bordeaux glasses it feels restrained and bottle aged, however not oxidated at all, the cork was soaked in 3mm only!!. Check my tasting notes of the same vintage from January 2010.
