Tasted like an incredibly tasty chardonnay. Apple, citrus, smoke, and nutty notes on the nose. These replay on the palate with lovely minerality and refreshing acidity. As others have noted, the oak is quite prominent, but it's very well integrated, providing the right amount of depth to go along with the fruit. Kicking myself for not grabbing 3 of these when I had the chance. Tasted May 2013.

Tasted oaky, with a hint of starfruit and star anise. Like oaked chardonnay but without the butter.

Very floral but dry and full. Good length. Certainly different from usual drunken.
Good quality/price.
