This barrel-fermented and aged Chardonnay has a rich, medium-high to highly aromatic nose that is smoky and leesy with binned apple, pear, vanilla, earth, and touches of lemon citrus aromas. It's medium-full to full-boded on the dry palate with lovely, balanced aroma replays and notable smoky, leesy, apple, and citrus flavours. It's nicely textured with earthy, leesy, and mineral notes on the long finish. Tasted May 2025. Score: 91+ pts
